The Shap Fells Birketts
The Shap fells, from Longsleddale east to the A6, around the heads of Bannisdale, Borrowdale and Crookdale and north to Wet Sleddale, hold 21 tops that are not Wainwrights, 20 of them Birketts. All of them are on at least one of our routes, measured on the route’s own GPS line, and each card names the route.

A top that is only near a route is not a way up: the ground between has not been assessed. None of these routes is walked by us yet; they are planned lines, drawn on the map and checked against the terrain model, so read each route page before you go.
The count is of the list on this page. Regions are the areas the fells sit in on our fell list. How we check →
