📖 Key Information

Coomb Height at 610m (2,001ft) is a broad, grassy summit in the Back o' Skiddaw country above Orthwaite, giving wide views north to the Solway and east across the Vale of Eden. A Birkett fell in the quiet northern Lakeland moorlands. Part of the circuit of the Back o' Skiddaw fells from Caldbeck. A peaceful, open summit away from the main tourist paths.
