View from Dodd Summit

Hiking

4.6

(12)

Dodd is a lovely

summit on the superb High Stile Range above Buttermere. Not to be confused with

the summit of Dodd Wood in the Skiddaw massif, this Dodd is actually a higher

fell, rising to 2,104 feet (641 m) and giving you magnificent views down onto

the Buttermere Valley and across to the North Western Fells.

It is the termination

of Red Pike’s northeastern spur and, due to the proximity to its parent peak,

This Highlight is in a protected area

    Hiking

    Dodd is a Nutall summit and part of the High Stile range. Alfred Wainwright chose not to include it in his list of the best 214 fells in the Lake District but I think it's well worth a visit on the way up Red Pike (Buttermere).

    Hiking

    Had to drop from Red Pike to bag Dodd (It's a Nuttall). Bit of scree slide down from there but great fun and worth it for the views. You can get some great panoramic shots from here.
