    Hiking

    Pike of Stickle, also called Pike o' Stickle, is a fell in the English Lake District. It reaches a height of 709 metres and lies in the central part of the national park in the valley of Great Langdale. The fell is one of three fells that make up the picturesque Langdale Pikes (the others being Harrison Stickle and Loft Crag), one of the best-known areas in Lakeland. A "stickle" is a hill with a steep, prominent rocky summit, while a "pike" is a hill with a pointed summit; the name is therefore partly tautological.

    Hiking

    Although firmly joined to the Langdale Pikes’ lumpen massif, the Pike of Stickle boldly pokes its head above the parapet as it watches over the head of Langdale itself, keen to be the Pike that’s noticed. It was also the site of a Neolithic axe quarry which, if you know where to look, can still be spotted.
