⛰️ Stickle Pike

📖 Key Information

Stickle Pike at 375m (1,230ft) is a small, rocky summit above the Dunnerdale Fells, its distinctive pointed profile visible from the Duddon valley below. Wainwright included it in his Outlying Fells guide, noting its attractive character and fine views of the Duddon valley. The ascent from Broughton Mills is short and entertaining on rocky terrain. The views south to the Duddon estuary and the coast 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.
