Hiking

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.
