📖 Key Information

Hallin Fell at 388m (1,273ft) is one of Lakeland's most perfectly formed little summits — a grassy cone projecting into Ullswater above Howtown, its summit giving the finest aerial view of the lake's two bends in all of Lakeland. Wainwright was clearly delighted by it, describing the view from the top as one of the most beautiful in the district for its modest height. The ascent from Howtown or Martindale is short and the view instantaneous on reaching the top. Best combined with the Ullswater steamer for an effortless approach.

🎯 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.
