📖 Key Information

Newton Fell at 225m (738ft) is a heathery ridge above the Winster valley between Windermere and Cartmel, giving views across the Winster valley and south to Morecambe Bay. Wainwright included it in his Outlying Fells guide. A pleasant, easy walk in the lovely pastoral country between Windermere and the Cartmel peninsula.
