⛰️ High Hartsop Dodd

📖 Key Information

High Hartsop Dodd at 519m (1,703ft) is a small, grassy summit above Hartsop village, its top giving good views of Brothers Water and the lower Patterdale valley. Wainwright included it as a separate fell, noting its pleasant position above the charming hamlet of Hartsop below. The ascent from Hartsop is short and easy, making it a good first fell for children. The views north to Place Fell and south to the Kirkstone Pass fells 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.
