Circular route up to the Saddleback of Blencathra. The route follows some of the easier routes on this iconic fell; the
still-considerable effort is rewarded with dramatic mountain views.

Great walk to Carrock Fell. The path to the summit is very steep but short. A bit of scrambling to reach the summit.

Departure from Threlkeld (Westmorland and Furness)
Sharp Edge is the highlight of this Lake District walk to Blencathra's highest point at Hallsfell Top. Sharp Edge is challenging mountain environment and needs treating with respect. The views from the Top are stunning covering most of the Lake District's highest fells.

Average
Departure from Matterdale (Westmorland and Furness)
A short and interesting walk to the top of Gowbarrow Fell via Aira Force. This is an out and return walk but uses paths on either side of Aira Beck to maintain interest and give different views of the waterfalls and cascades. It is useful for a short weather window if you want to stretch your legs and you get a couple of hours of dry weather between the rain. (A longer walk around the fell is also available here.)
