    Hiking

    Rosthwaite Fell is a Lake District hill south of Keswick. The highest point of Rosthwaite Fell is actually Rosthwaite Cam at 2,008 feet (612 m) but the Wainwright summit is the one known as Bessyboot at 1,804 feet (550 m) which is north of the main summit. This is the summit you should head to if you're 'bagging the Wainwrights'. The view from here over the Tarn at Leaves is beautiful as the land all around it is so deliciously rough and wild. The summit of Bessyboot is marked by a cairn.
