Kidsty Pike is a fell to the west of Haweswater Reservoir. Whilst it is a subsidiary peak of Rampsgill Head, the summit has long achieved the status of a separate fell due to its classic peaked profile. From the 2,559-foot (780 m) summit, you are afforded a spectacular view over the wildly-beautiful landscape.

Sometimes it snows in April :-) (2022)
...and that adds an extra to this already fantastic view.
