📖 Key Information

High Snockrigg at 610m (2,001ft) is a broad grassy summit above Buttermere on the Robinson-Hindscarth ridge, giving good views of Buttermere and Crummock Water. A Birkett fell on the ridge approach to Robinson from Buttermere. The lake views from this approach ridge are consistently fine throughout.

🎯 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.
