High Stile Summit

Recommended for

Hiking

by 88 explorers

A dark and dramatic mountain wall looms over the glistening lakes and verdant pastures of the Buttermere Valley. Hikes to High Stile take you to the central peak and high point of this majestic massif. Superb hanging valleys, secluded tarns, beautiful woodland, bristling crags, deep combs, soaring peaks: the High Stile range offers you everything your hiking heart could desire.

    Tips

    Hiking

    Shapely and noble, High Stile is the highest point of the eye-catching ridge soaring proudly above Buttermere. Traversing this ridge – the Buttermere Edge – should not be rushed. It’s a place to linger: find a rocky outcrop and savour the panoramas over the exquisite Buttermere Valley and its wild neighbour Ennerdale.

    Hiking

    Sat between Red Pike and High Crag, this is a rock topped mountain that provides some brilliant views down to Crummock and Buttermere.

    As Tom outlines, beautiful views down into the valleys and all round really. A super place to be!
