Birkhouse Moor at 718m (2,354ft) is the long, grassy shoulder west-south-west of Glenridding that forms the approach ridge to Striding Edge and Helvellyn from Patterdale.

Summit conditions on Birkhouse Moor

On the summit on Tuesday 27 October: 11° to 4°C, gusts to 58 mph, 19.9 mm of rain forecast over the whole day, midnight to midnight.

Against our lines, Tuesday 27 October: wind, cold and cloud from the Met Office UKV 2 km model (daylight hours, as in the verdict above); rain from the summit line’s forecast (the whole day). A tile is large when this top is past its line.

Wind on the top

Past the line

68 mph, our estimate for the open top in the worst daylight hour

The Met Office 2 km model’s gust of 56 mph times our exposure factor of 1.21. The summit line above gives Open-Meteo’s highest gust for the whole day, 58 mph, before any exposure factor.

The line Our line: 25 mph, where our wind Scale begins its 25–35 band: “balance affected; buffeting on exposed ground”. MWIS (opens in new tab) describes what wind does to a walker across a range rather than at a line: from about 20–25 mph it starts to affect your balance.

Estimated: it is not calibrated against summit readings, and the two forecasts can disagree by more than a band.

Cloud on the top

Past the line

18 out of 100, the clear-top reading

Averaged over the daylight hours, from the forecast’s humidity and low cloud.

The line Our line: a clear-top reading under 20 out of 100, where our scorer says “summit likely clagged in”. There is no outside threshold to cite; it is our estimate. What cloud does to finding the way: navigating in cloud.

Not an observation: cloud lifts and drops within the hour.

Rain, and the becks

Past the line

19.9 mm of rain over the whole day, midnight to midnight

The same figure as the summit line above and the 7-day forecast.

The line Our line: 6 mm in the day, where our scorer counts a day as soaking. We read rainfall, never river levels: becks in spate.

Open-Meteo’s forecast. It says nothing about rain already in the ground.

Also checked cold: feels like 0 °C, no ice or snow forecast. Under a line is not the same as fine: it means only that these figures are under the lines we use.

Not in these tiles Lightning, river levels, snow or ice already lying, and the ground under your feet. A tile cannot see them, so an empty space here never means they are absent.

Distance, climb and the steepest stretch are measured from each route’s GPX track; the other grades are set on the ground, judged from the map or estimated from OpenStreetMap, and each route page says which. How we check →

Is Birkhouse Moor an easy walk?

The fell itself, yes — a broad grassy shoulder above Glenridding with a steady path and no difficulty on it. Taken for its own sake it is a straightforward half day.

But almost nobody stops there, and that is the important part. Birkhouse Moor is the approach to Striding Edge, and our route that continues over it is 12.7 km with 948 m of ascent, which we rate Severe overall for its terrain, with navigation graded severe — a completely different proposition. Decide which walk you are on before you leave the wall at the top of the moor.

Hazards on Birkhouse Moor

Notes from the Glenridding Dodd, Sheffield Pike, Catstye Cam, Birkhouse Moor route

If you need to get off (the leg from Catstye Cam): From the col onward, the quickest way down is the route itself as far as Hole-in-the-Wall, past Red Tarn. There, go through the wall and take the main path east-north-east along its far side, below Birkhouse Moor’s top; it rejoins the route on the Mires Beck path, about 3.5 km to Glenridding against 4.3 km over the top (stage 6). We have checked it on the map, not on foot.

Quoted from the route page: the note for the leg that reaches Birkhouse Moor.

We have not written a hazard card for this fell yet, and that is not a sign that it is low-hazard. Read the warnings on the route pages that climb it, check the forecast, carry a map and compass, and turn back in cloud if the ground is not what you expected. The National Park Authority’s What to pack page, AdventureSmart’s hill walking kit list and Mountain Rescue England and Wales’s safety page are linked from our what to carry guide.

Don’t drink from Glenridding Beck

On our route Helvellyn via Striding Edge & Swirral Edge you cross Glenridding Beck, which runs below the old Greenside lead mine. In Environment Agency samples from it, the typical level of dissolved lead is above the World Health Organization’s drinking-water guideline — that comparison is ours, not the Agency’s. Those samples were taken between 2004 and 2024 at 3 Agency sampling points 10 to 175 m from the route’s line, the nearest “Glenridding Beck”: a record of past sampling, not a test of the water today. This is not the usual hill-water risk: a squeeze or hollow-fibre filter removes none of these dissolved metals, and boiling only concentrates them. Carry your own water for this walk and don’t refill from the beck.

Navigating in cloud

Fewer traps in cloud

Of the three things our terrain model measures, the highest reading here is the amount of near-level ground around the summit. This top is in the lowest of the index’s four bands, and a low band never means “safe”: carry map and compass and know how to use them.

In winter — snow, whiteout, cornices, buried features — every top demands full winter navigation skills whatever its band, and a broad, gentle summit can be the worst place of all. See walking in bad weather and the navigation guide.

If you need Mountain Rescue

Dial 999 or 112 and ask for the Police, then Mountain Rescue.

Before you call, have ready: where you are (a grid reference if you can – the OS Locate app shows yours on your phone), what has happened, how many of you there are, and your mobile number.

Then stay where you are until the rescue team contacts you.

If you cannot make a voice call because of a hearing or speech impairment, emergency SMS works only if you have registered first: text “register” to 999.

Treat water from the fell before you drink it. A mapped point is not proof the water is drinkable, so carry your own or use a supply you know is safe. Never drink untreated from a beck, stream or tarn — even clear-looking hill water can carry giardia or cryptosporidium from livestock upstream and leave you seriously ill. Use a treatment method suited to what might be in the water, and follow the device’s own instructions. Boiling and ordinary filters do not make water with dissolved metals or chemicals safe: where that is possible, choose another source.

About Birkhouse Moor

Wainwright noted it as a fell that rewards those who pause on the busy Helvellyn path — the views north-east along Ullswater from the ridge are excellent, and the summit cairn gives a fine prospect of the eastern Helvellyn crags and Red Tarn cove above. Most walkers pass through it automatically on the Patterdale-Striding Edge approach. Worth a separate visit for Ullswater views when Helvellyn is cloud-capped.

Field notes

For all the fells that Alfred Wainwright basically says aren't worth making, it's a wonder that he actually recorded the characteristics in such fidelity for 214 fells. But we all know he thought so negatively of “bagging” that his books were more about the utility of honest review (much like we try). The partial view down to Glenridding and Ullswater is worthwhile in my opinion, but I'm sure AW would attest that the view from Place Fell offers so much more of a satisfying experience. But don't write it off as many will have their back to that view as they focus their mind on Striding Edge which is fast (or slowly) approaching.

Sunrise and sunset on Birkhouse Moor

Birkhouse Moor sits close to the flat-horizon case. Even on its longest wait of the modelled year (on 1 February) first light is only 5 minutes after almanac sunrise, so the published sunrise time is a fair guide here.

Midsummer. The filled shape is the skyline as seen from the summit; the line is the sun’s path. Where they meet is first light — everything left of that point is the wait.

Times for 2026, in Lakeland clock time (GMT in winter, BST in summer) — and model outputs rather than observations.
	First light	Almanac sunrise	Difference
Midsummer	04:33 BST ±5.0 min	04:36	-3 min
Equinox	06:12 GMT ±5.0 min	06:15	-3 min
Midwinter	08:35 GMT ±5.0 min	08:33	+2 min

A low, open northern horizon — the ground falls away northwards (mean 0.35°).

Last light — when the sun leaves Birkhouse Moor

Birkhouse Moor loses the sun early. Its earliest evening of the modelled year falls on 1 March, when last light is 43 minutes before almanac sunset — 17:06 against 17:49. The sun goes down to the west-south-west from here (249.7°), and the skyline on that bearing stands at 5.48°.

The evening of the same three days. A negative difference means a ridge takes the sun before the valley loses it.
	Last light	Almanac sunset	Difference
Midsummer	21:19 BST ±5.0 min	21:52	-33 min
Equinox	17:46 GMT ±5.0 min	18:26	-40 min
Midwinter	15:17 GMT ±5.0 min	15:48	-31 min

These are daylight figures, not a descent plan: the light goes on fading for a good while after the sun leaves, and going down in it is a decision about your own ground and party, not about this table.

How the skyline, light and sightlines are computed

Computed, not photographed. First light is the first minute the sun’s upper limb clears this summit’s own skyline and last light the last minute it is still clear of it, both solved against the 360° horizon profile behind The View from Birkhouse Moor. Almanac sunrise and sunset are the flat-horizon convention. Every time carries a ± band from the 30 m elevation model — it smooths arêtes and cornices, so nothing here claims better than five minutes.

Sightlines from the Copernicus GLO-30 elevation model, which is a surface model: each 30 m cell holds the top of whatever stands there, trees and buildings included, rather than bare ground. Corrected for the Earth’s curvature and average atmospheric refraction. “Distant” sightlines and any over 100 km depend on exceptionally clear air. Modelled from Copernicus GLO-30 open elevation data — a guide to the view, not a guarantee of any single one.
