Tom Height's modest summit is easily reached from the trails around Tarn Hows. It rewards with glorious views towards the bristling Langdale Pikes and the grand Coniston Fells. It is one of the viewpoints visited as part of the Cumrbia Way long-distance footpath.

Hiking

This wonderful section of trail takes you over Tom Heights and affords a magnificent panoramic view over the wild Lake District landscape.

Hiking

Scenic mountain trail overlooking Coniston Water, Windermere and many mountains in the Lake District. Narrow and with a few steps, but when you're up there, it's a place to linger on the strung peaks.
