At 1,400 feet (427 m), Brunt Knott is the highest point of a wild tangle of grey rock, grass, hillocks and heather known as Potter Fell, which includes the subsidiary summit of Ulgraves and two other nameless summits. Alfred Wainwright included Potter Fell in his Outlying Fells of Lakeland guidebook, with his suggested route visiting all four summits. From Brunt Knott's trig pillar, you get a stupendous view of the Kentmere Horseshoe to the north.
