📖 Key Information

Lingmoor Fell at 469m (1,539ft) is a heathery ridge between Great Langdale and Little Langdale, its summit giving one of the finest aerial views of Great Langdale available from any low fell. The Langdale Pikes rise dramatically across the valley from the summit. The traverse from Chapel Stile to Great Langdale is a classic low-level walk. Wainwright included it in his Central Fells, noting the excellent Langdale views 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.
