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.

⚑Departure from Mungrisdale (Westmorland and Furness)
Great walk to Carrock Fell. The path to the summit is very steep but short. A bit of scrambling to reach the summit.

Blencathra via Sharp Edge from Scales
↔4.48 mi ↗+2,041 ft ↘-1,929 ft ◔3h 50 ▲Moderate
⚑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.

Walking Lonscale Fell

↔6.36 mi ↗+1,424 ft ↘-1,414 ft ◔4h 10 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Underskiddaw (Cumberland)
Great walk to Lonscale Pike. ⚠️ Steep ascent between section (1) and (2) that can be challenging.

↔5.14 mi ↗+1,050 ft ↘-1,079 ft ◔3h 15 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Underskiddaw (Cumberland)
Lovely family friendly circular walk passing by Latrigg summit and Brundholme Wood. This is dog friendly walk.

Walking Gowbarrow Fell via Aira Force

Visorando Member
↔3.47 mi ↗+1,007 ft ↘-1,010 ft ◔2h 30 ▲Moderate
⚑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.)
