Hiking

In contrast to the craggy grandeur of Helvellyn and its subsidiary peaks, the Dodds are gentle rounded fells. However, their great height gives them superb views across the Lake District, even if there are no dramatic precipices to gaze down.

Stybarrow Dodd is the most southerly of the Dodds and can be ascended from Thirlmere and Ullswater via Sticks Pass, the high col to the south. From the pass, it is only a short (if strenuous) walk up neighbouring Raise.
