Highwood Brow stands at an elevation of 208m (682ft) and affords views straight up the Langdale Valley toward Fylingdales Moor and Langdale Rigg.
Over time the area has become more forested, and although this creates a lovely setting for a walk, it does restrict the views somewhat. A short stroll between the trees will take you to an open viewpoint where you can enjoy the scenery in all its glory.

Highwood Brow (at 208m) is on an escarpment overlooking the Langdale valley. The trig point here suggests there used to be fewer trees up here, which now kind of block your view! - so you might need to be inventive to find a good point to look past them! A useful information board providing information about the geology of the area is provided as well.
