Yoke is a 2,316-foot (706 m) Wainwright fell in the Lake District. It sits on the Kentmere Horseshoe - a popular long day walk in the Far Eastern Lake District. The summit is marked by a cairn atop an outcrop. I particularly like the view towards Ill Bell from here but to the west you can see as far as the Scafells and High Stile on the Buttermere Edge on a good day.

Yoke is a 706m top on the western side of the Kentmere Horseshoe. It is the first Wainwright summit to be reached going clockwise and has a straightforward path up from Garburn Pass.
On a clear day Yoke is great viewpoint, particularly west towards the Langdale fells and even towards Scafell Pike on a good day.
The continuing ridge to Ill Bell is a delightful walk with hood views.

Misty views when I was summiting so no decent photos to share sadly. The area I imagine could be water logged after a lot of rain, so take care.
