📖 Key Information

Floutern Cop at 368m (1,207ft) is a small summit on the moorland plateau above the Floutern Pass between Ennerdale and Loweswater, giving views of both valleys. A Birkett fell on the ancient pack horse route connecting Ennerdale to the Lorton country. The views of the remote western moorlands are pleasant.
