Just a stone’s throw from the sea in the far western extent of the Lake District National Park, Muncaster Fell forms a verdant ridge in a fantastic location. It’s a modest fell at 758 feet (231 m) and its summit views exceed its charming height. It’s a steep-sided ridge, giving it quite an impressive appearance from afar and there are plenty of trails rambling about the hillside, giving you a wide range of ascent options.

This Highlight is in a protected area

The Wainwright Outlying Fell summit of this fell is actually the outcrop 115 feet (35 m) north of the trig point that most people class as the summit of this magnificent fell! Beautiful views to Black Combe and across Eskdale.

A nice little trig pointed knoll but as Nic said not the true summit which is nearby.
