    Tips

    At 2,792 feet (851 m), Gategill Fell's summit is the second highest summit on the Blencathra massif, standing proud at the head of a ridge which rises from Threlkeld. It's only a short walk from here to Blencathra's true summit, Hallsfelll Top, which like Gategill Fell stands at the head of a narrow ridge.

    Of Blencathra's three central ridges, Gategill is the wildest, with less defined paths than on Halls Fell and Doddick Fell. It doesn't boast the same scrambling interest as Halls Fell but it's still an atmospheric way up. From the Gategill Fell's summit, you can descend via Blease Fell and enjoy stunning views across Derwent Water to the mountains in the west of the national park.
