    Tips

    Hiking

    Like Orrest Head, School Knott's grassy summit reveals stupendous views down onto Windermere (both lake and town) and across the fells of southern and central Lakeland. From here, the craggy citadels of the Langdale Pikes look particularly dramatic. It's difficult to surmount School Knott and not want to immediately head into the mountainous heart of the national park.
