⛰️ Hartsop Dodd

📖 Key Information

Hartsop Dodd at 618m (2,028ft) is a grassy ridge summit above Hartsop village, its long slope rising to a broad top with fine views of Brothers Water and the Patterdale valley below. A pleasant Birkett fell above one of the Lake District's most attractive hamlets. The ascent from Hartsop is straightforward. The views of the Caudale Moor ridges to the south and the Helvellyn range to the west are fine.

🎯 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.
