⛰️ Haycock

📖 Key Information

The west top of Haycock at 764m (2,507ft) is the subsidiary summit on the ridge west of the main Haycock summit, giving additional views west towards the Cumbrian coast. A Birkett top for those traversing the full Haycock ridge. The coastal views from this western aspect are distinctive — among the finest westward views from any Lake District summit.

🎯 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.
