    A short steep climb to the summit. Little Mell Fell stands alone on the edge of the national park. Although short in height, it has superb views of the surrounding area. Easy to summit in the dark for twilight views and star gazing.

      Even the short dash up from the car park is worth it as Ulswater emerged from the clouds
