    Hiking

    Gibson Knott is a Wainwright in the Central Fells of the Lake District National Park. At 1,385 feet (422 m), it's hardly a towering mountain but with views like this it doesn't need to be. It's commonly hiked when walkers link Helm Crag with Calf Crag. Gibson Knott itself is a series of lumps and bumps along a wide ridge that falls away either side between the Far Easedale valley and the Greenburn valley.
