The Haweswater Birketts
The fells around Haweswater, from the High Street ridge and Bampton Common on its west side round the head of Mardale under Harter Fell and Branstree, and east over Naddle Forest and Swindale to Wet Sleddale, hold 31 tops that are not Wainwrights, 24 of them Birketts. 26 of them are on at least one of our routes, measured on the route’s own GPS line, and each card names the route; the other 5 come within a kilometre of one, and their cards say how close, from the same line.

A top that is only near a route is not a way up: the ground between has not been assessed. Each route says above whether we have walked it; read its page before you go.
