The hike up to Brant Fell is quite easy, though some of the paths may be a bit muddy, especially when it's been raining for a while. The views from the summit are just spectacular.

A simple climb over wonderful park-like landscapes, above then a view over the Windermere. Many interesting rock formations, a paradise for agile children with fun climbing on rocks. But take care!

fabulous views no matter what the weather. 2 ways to get to the top - steep or gradual. Approx. 1.5 kms on a gradual climb and well worth it.
