⛰️ Great Intake - Low Fell

📖 Key Information

Low Fell at 423m (1,388ft) above Loweswater is a delightful, craggy little fell giving outstanding views of Loweswater lake and the Grasmoor group above. Wainwright praised it warmly, noting the excellent view of Loweswater from the summit crags — among the finest lake views from any low western fell. The ascent from Loweswater village is short and rewarding.

🎯 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.
