It’s easy to get to and the views are unbeatable. It’s where Alfred Wainwright became inspired prior to writing his guides.

I was brought up in the last cottage before the view point. The scenery from the top is beautiful . Wainwright fell in love with it too.

It's one of the finest views in the Lake District and only a 20 minute walk up to the top. Great for sunrise and sunset, but anytime is good!
