An absolute joy to visit! In late Spring/early Summer the bluebells are out across the fellside as well as a smattering of cotton grass and it's a dreamy place to be. Holme Fell is only 1,040 feet (317 m) in height but the views to the larger nearby fells (particularly the Coniston range) are beautiful.

Lovely in August when the purple heather is out all around.

Be careful climbing up to Holme Fell in the rain, it can be quite slippy!
