A little glimpse into the history of the area, worth a quick peep.

With a summit height of 2,502 feet (763 m), Wetherlam offers a truly rewarding hiking experience amidst the stunning mountain scenery of the Lake District. From the top, enjoy expansive views of the Coniston Fells, Little Langdale, and the picturesque patchwork of green valleys that give the region its timeless charm. https://www.tellpopeyes.it.com

Can easily crawl inside then it opens out

Now payment controlled by Ringo. At least three cars had tickets on after our walk :-( £6.50 for four hours. And you wont forget the drive up there. Take a good run up, would be my advice.

A conspicuous arch-shaped tunnel entrance, once an access point for the Coniston copper mines.

Great point to stop and catch your breath and take in the views down to Coniston village, the old mineworks and across Coniston Water.

The views of Low Water Tarn from here are spectacular. Low Water is a high corrie tarn situated directly underneath the imposing north face of Coniston Old Man. The walk up Coniston is one of the most popular walks in the Lake District, and this tarn reflects this popularity for wild swimming, being a super gorgeous place to swim!

Brim Fell is often overlooked as just a small rise on the ridge between Coniston Old Man and Swirl How but there is nearly 20m of re-ascent from both. It is possible to reach Brim Fell directly from Goats Hause without visiting the Old Man but Brim Fell lacks other connecting ridges. It is a good place to stop and reflect before or after the crowds on Coniston Old Man.

There has been much debate over which is the higher: Swirl How or Coniston Old Man? They have both been comprehensively measured and are both currently 802.4m (2633ft in old money). Both measurements are accepted by the OS but the current maps show Swirl How as 802m and the Old Man as 803m. Why does it matter? Only one can be a Marilyn while the other must be classed as a Hump though they could be twin peaks. Currently the view is Coniston Old Man remains as the Marilyn and Swirl How is only a Hump. So the Historic County Top of the County Palatine of Lancashire, Coniston Old Man remains the higher. Swirl How is a very fine hill with a much more interesting ridge structure than the Old Man. Approaches from all directions are rewarding and exciting and there is a good chance you can enjoy solitude by the summit cairn which doesn’t suffer the crowds the Old Man does. Enjoy!

Abit of light relief after Coniston Old Man

Spectacular views and walk

While the Old Man of Coniston gets most of the attention, possibly in part due to its location above Coniston village, it could be argued that Swirl How is the main summit in the range. It's pretty much the Old Man's equal in height (a 2018 survey showed they were virtually the same) and is more like the central hub from which the range's ridges splay out. However, it perhaps lacks the edge-of-mountain-country drama that the Old Man enjoys.

Wetherlam is a beautiful Wainwright fell on the northeastern end of the Coniston Group's complex ridge system. It's a mighty vantage, a privileged platform for gazing out across the Scafell massif and the likes of Crinkle Crags and Bowfell. In terms of ascents, both Wetherlam Edge and Steel Edge make for beautiful, if non-technical, winter ridge walks.

Brim Fell is a Wainwright summit on the ridge between the Old Man of Coniston and Swirl How and it can easily be linked to both. It's relatively wide summit plateau removes immediate foreground interest from the panorama, yet the view to the northwest, beyond Grey Friar and towards the Scafell massif, is excellent.

Swirl How stands at 2,631 feet (802 m) at the corner between Swirl Band and the Prison Band, both of which are enjoyable run/scrambles in their own right. This summit is usually included as part of the Coniston and Wetherlam loop.

Views of the old mines

Steep ascent but worth the effort

A good spot to stop for sandwiches and coffee and admiring the view.

Copper has been mined here since the 16th century and continued until the 1950's so there is a lot of history and relics to explore. Look out for the old mine carts, water wheel and mine buildings as well as open shafts and tunnels (best not to explore too deeply as it's a total maze and not all stable. The YHA Coppermine’s is also here, a great base for exploring the area.

A giant, sprawling mountain at 2,503 ft (763 m), there are great views from the summit across to the Old Man of Coniston or over towards Langdale. Despite its size, Wetherlam is very runnable - it's not very steep but some sections are quite rocky.
