Binsey is a freestanding hill in the northern Lake District, north of Bassenthwaite Lake. At 447 meters high, it's one of the smaller fells, but the views from the summit are surprisingly impressive. On a clear day, you can see not only the western Lakeland fells, but also the Solway Firth, Dumfries & Galloway, and even the Isle of Man. If you stay on the road, you'll remain at 260 meters.

Over Water is a secluded lake in the northern part of the Lake District National Park. It lies at an altitude of 188 meters and was artificially enlarged by a dam in 1904 to serve as a drinking water reservoir for Wigton—a function it fulfilled until October 2022. The surrounding area offers beautiful views of the water and the surrounding hills such as Binsey, Great Cockup, and Longlands Fell.

Straight up, straight down. Simple walk but actually provides good views of the Back of Skiddaw mountain range on clear days.
