Hiking
This area on Fossdale Moss feels (and is) rather remote, with extensive views in all directions. The track is comfortable to walk, but do steps just a few steps off it to walk up to the cairn, from which there is a great view from higher up.
The track passes Round Hill (591m) just to the west of the track. Near the top of the hill, there is a small tarn (pond), perhaps rather unusual in a place like this.
It's a stunning place, though it will definitely be windy here a lot of the time!
