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.

Difficult
Departure from Mungrisdale (Westmorland and Furness)
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.

Moderate
Departure from Mungrisdale (Westmorland and Furness)
The broad ridge of Souther Fell gives excellent views of Blencathra and more distantly over the Vale of Eden to the North Pennines.

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.

Moderate
Departure from Ireby and Uldale (Cumberland)
Nice circular walk from Orthwaite village around Little Cockup and Great Cockup. This path is not really popular. Dog friendly.
