Other walks in the area
Bowscale & Mosedale
A virtually level farmland and mossland stroll through two pretty Lakeland hamlets with views of Carrock Fell and beyond.
Carrock Fell
Great walk to Carrock Fell. The path to the summit is very steep but short. A bit of scrambling to reach the summit.
Souther Fell
The broad ridge of Souther Fell gives excellent views of Blencathra and more distantly over the Vale of Eden to the North Pennines.
Blencathra
Circular route up to the Saddleback of Blencathra. The route follows some of the easier routes on this iconic fell; thestill-considerable effort is rewarded with dramatic mountain views.
Blencathra via Sharp Edge from Scales

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.
Lonscale Fell
Great walk to Lonscale Pike.⚠️ Steep ascent between section (1) and (2) that can be challenging.
