    Brandreth is a Wainwright in the Lake District National Park. It's probably one of the more unusual summits of all the Lakeland fells, marked with some random iron posts and wooden poles on the summit cairn. I remember first hiking this fell back in 2018 and it was the same then. It looks a bit untidy but also very unique.

      Nice Wainwright but worked quite hard to get here from Seathwaite Farm as I was doing a route from Stuart Marshall's book taking in Grey Knotts, Brandreth, Great Gable, Green Gable and Base Brown. Quirky messy top on Brandreth but superb views. Superb outing!
