📖 Key Information

Rest Dodd at 696m (2,283ft) is an isolated summit above Patterdale, separated from the main High Street range by the hollow of Boardale Hause. Wainwright noted its excellent views across Ullswater and the fine prospect of the Hayeswater hollow below. The ascent from Patterdale or Hartsop via Hayeswater is pleasant. Most naturally combined with The Knott and Angletarn Pikes for a circuit above Patterdale. A quiet summit on a less frequented ridge.

🎯 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.
