    Carrock Fell is a much-loved Wainwright summit in the Northern Fells of the Lake District. Its position in the very north east of the national park gives it unique views towards the Eden Valley and the Pennines beyond.

    On a summer day, Carrock Beck is a superb picnic spot. I have many happy memories of playing in the stream as a child with my family.

    Its summit is notable for a number of reasons. It is one of the only places in Britain where gabbro rock is found, the magnetic qualities of which can play havoc with your compass needle. It was also once the site of a Neolithic hill fort.

      When you are up there you have a great view. However, the wind can be really strong
