A trig pillar can be found atop this 223m hill in north west Cumbria. A right of way which is fenced on both sides can be followed up and over the hill. Views to Criffel (largest hill across the Solway Firth over in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland) are outstanding from here. But the biggest treat comes with the view across to the Lake District mountains. Not only can you see the giants of the north and north western fells like Skiddaw, Grisedale Pike, Hopegill Head and Grasmoor, but on a good day you can even spot Helvellyn, Steeple and Pillar. What a stunning treat from a small hill that's probably seldom hiked.
