Wether Hill is a 2,211-foot (671 m) Wainwright fell in the Far Eastern Lake District National Park. Whilst it can be hiked on it's own or with its neighbour Loadpot Hill, Wether Hill is commonly walked as part of the Fusedale Round or as part of a longer walk - the Martindale Horseshoe. The Helvellyn range looks impressive from here but you can even see as far as Scafell and the Old Man of Coniston from the summit of Wether Hill.

Running

Wether Hill, at 2,198 feet (670 m), is very slightly lower than nearby Loadpot Hill. It's a bit further south on the same High Street ridge, but often overlooked because it lacks a trig point. It's a good view point across the Far Eastern Fells.
