Hiking

Bleaberry Fell is a 1,936-foot (590 m) Wainwright fell in the Lake District. It's largely clad in heather and is commonly hiked together with Walla Crag from Keswick/Derwent Water. I find the best view comes when descending Bleaberry Fell towards Walla Crag - looking down onto Derwent Water with Bassenthwaite lake beyond is simply a marvellous view.

The surrounding area is notoriously boggy - good footwear is definitely recommended!

Can get boggy here, would make a good winter walk
