📖 Key Information

Grange Fell at 415m (1,362ft) is a rough, rocky summit above the village of Grange in Borrowdale, its craggy knolls and heathery terraces giving a charming, varied walk. Wainwright described King's How, its summit tor, as a wonderful viewpoint above the Jaws of Borrowdale — one of the finest valley views in the district. The ascent from Grange is short and entertaining, with multiple rocky outcrops to explore. A perfect half-day outing for visitors staying in Borrowdale.

🎯 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.
