앨러데일‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Went up Carrock Fell the steep way from the road. Didn't take long, but blimey it was cold on the top!

Nice Fell that gives great views of the north of the lake

The accent up Ling Fell, from the Greystones approach, Was a quite tough and steep. Once it levels out though, you feel the burn from the legs ease and your greeted with a well earned actual trig.

Both decent options between Skiddaw South Top and Skiddaw, south west heading towards Carl Side, require sure footedness and appear rather treacherous as you head off the top down the scree.

Skiddaw is frequently dismissed as dull and featureless. In the right conditions however, its (comparitively) smooth contours appear to soften the harsh, bleak summit plateau. The boundary between land and sky starts to become less distinct and it takes on an eerie stillness.

A steep ascent up Graystokes

Ling Fell and Sale Fell are the most northerly of the Wainwright Fells in the north western group. Overlooking Embleton and Wythop Mill and with commanding views of Bassenthwaite, the Skiddaw fells and further afield to Criffel in Galloway, both hills make good viewpoints despite their diminutive size. Ling Fell, so named because it is covered all around by Ling heather (Calluna vulgaris), is the more westerly and the slightly higher (373m) of the pair. It looks stunning in August with huge swathes of pink. Ling Fell is easily climbed from just above Wythop Mill where there is adequate parking.

The Wainwright which is just out of the direction of the Coledale Horseshoe. Well worth the extra mile. View all the way to the sea!
