One of the gentler ways up Blencathra. Where the likes of Gategill Fell, Halls Fell, Doddick Fell and Sharp Edge are narrow and, in some cases, thrilling, Blease Fell is rounded and relatively easygoing by comparison. The views west towards Derwent Water and beyond are glorious, which makes it a particularly fine option in descent. The gradients also make it great for running down.

Up on the same ridge as Blencathra is Blease Fell, a lesser known hill but with views to match most fells in the area, always worth a trip to the edge to have a look.
