📖 Key Information

Wool Knott at 448m (1,470ft) is a small, grassy summit in the Dunnerdale Fells, its open top giving views across the moorland to the Coniston group. A Birkett fell in the quiet country between Coniston and the Duddon valley. The ascent from Dunnerdale or the Walna Scar road is easy and pleasant. Good views of the Coniston Fells to the north from this low Dunnerdale summit.
