Branstree is a 2,339-foot (713 m) Wainwright fell in the Far Eastern Lake District National Park. It sits at the head of three valleys - Mardale, Swindale and Longsleddale. The best views into all of the valleys are not achieved from the summit but from your walk itself as the top of Branstree is very flat. The ground around Branstree is grassy and generally quite wet. Branstree has a circular concrete trig station set into the ground.
