Summit only — not a route. The sketch marks where the fell is. The terrain map shows real mapped paths from OpenStreetMap / OpenTopoMap. We do not draw a line between the valley and the top, so we cannot send you the wrong way. Take OS Explorer, check mountain weather, and turn back if conditions change.

About this walk

Summit walk from the Buttermere side of the North Western Fells. Times are a rough round-trip in fair summer weather. Carry an OS map — the locator sketch is not a path.

Usual valley base: Buttermere. Parking, buses and pubs change — check locally before you travel.
