This isn't the true summit of Fountains Fell but it is the highest point that the Pennine Way trail passes on this wonderful mountain in the Yorkshire Dales. Fantastic view from here to the Yorkshire 3 Peaks of Pen y Ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside.

Can't beat the views of Pen-y-ghent from here. Commanding views.

Be careful in poor visibility conditions as there are fenced off old mines near the summit point

Brilliant walk not to hard

The three cairns, attractive though they may be, are a tad misleading as they don't mark the high point of Fountains Fell. To get to the high point, you follow the path uphill and SW through the mine workings. Be careful here, as there are old mine shafts, so keep to the path. From here, however, there are great views to be had over towards Pen y Ghent, which is stunning!
