One of my favourite fells in the Lake District. At 1,060 feet (323 m), it's one of the smallest Wainwrights but the views across the Lake District from this southern vantage point are outstanding. The undulating dry stone wall that runs over the summit is so charming, as is the wooden ladder stile that crosses it close to the summit. The way the trees on the summit have bent in the wind over time also adds character to this place.
