This mountain-shaped fell is perhaps the true star of the Kentmere Round. Part of the rollercoaster chain of hills that form the Horseshoe’s western arm, its wonderfully symmetrical bell-shape and steep eastern crags that plunge dramatically toward Kentmere Reservoir lend it a stature far greater than its actual height.

Ill Bell at 757m is the highest of the three Wainwrights on the ridge leading from Garburn Pass to Thornthwaite Crag.
The path over the ridge is very straightforward and hides the very existence of the steep crags on Ill Bell’s eastern flanks dropping down into the Kentmere valley.
Just enjoy this classic Lakeland ridge.
