⛰️ Blake Fell

📖 Key Information

Blake Fell at 573m (1,880ft) is a broad, heathery summit above Crummock Water and Loweswater, giving fine views of both lakes from its open top. Wainwright included it in the Western Fells, noting the excellent lake views. The ascent from Lamplugh or Loweswater is pleasant. Most naturally combined with Gavel Fell and Hen Comb for a circuit of the Loweswater fells. The views of Loweswater and Crummock Water are outstanding.

🎯 Bonus Birketts within 3 km

These Birkett tops are not Wainwright summits — detour to them on this walk and they are pure profit. Distances are straight-line; allow extra for terrain.
