Selside Pike rises at the picturesque head of Swindale in a quiet corner of the eastern Lake District. Grassy and rounded in character, much of Selside Pike’s charm is contained to the east of the summit. Its flanks drop to a lovely hanging valley where the interestingly named Hobgrumble Gill flows. The stream then plummets down a gully to the green moraines at Swindale Head.

This Highlight is in a protected area

    Selside Pike is a 2,149-foot (655 m) Wainwright fell in the Lake District National Park. I've hiked it together with Branstree on two occasions. There is a shelter on the summit which is useful on windy days. Selside Pike has great views down to Haweswater and across to the High Street range. Keep an eye out for deer, I saw a herd last time I was here.
