Barf Summit

Highlight • Viewpoint

Barf is a fabulous (albeit small) Lake District fell (469m) overlooking Bassenthwaite Lake, opposite the mighty Skiddaw. Its name doesn't sound particularly appealing, but the views are very good! Continue your hike along to Lord's Seat to bag another Wainwright.

Lord's Seat summit

Highlight • Natural Monument

Lord's Seat is a 1,811-foot (552 m) Wainwright fell in the Lake District. It's most commonly hiked alongside Broom Fell, Barf or Whinlatter (or all three). There are beautiful views from the top with a bit of everything: forest, lake and open fellside.

Broom Fell Summit Cairn

Highlight • Viewpoint

Broom Fell has a really large summit cairn and also a wind shelter. It stands at 1,677 feet (511 m). It's often climbed from the direction of Graystones or Lord's Seat (its higher neighbour) over grassy trails. I love the view to Skiddaw from the summit.

Graystones summit

Highlight • Viewpoint

Graystones is a Wainwright summit in the North Western Fells of the Lake District. It rises to 1,496 feet (456 m) and is easily accessed from the Whinlatter Pass. Greystones is the name of the summit, rather than the entire fell, which Kirk Fell (not to be confused with the much more prominent Kirk Fell above Wasdale).
