High Street summit

Highlight • Historical Site

High Street summit, at 2,717 feet (828 m), is the highest point in the Far Eastern Fells. It's named after the Roman road that followed the high ground north to south along here. The High Street loop is an excellent run from Pooley Bridge towards Windermere or Ambleside. High Street features on the Joss Naylor Challenge route and several races.

Rampsgill Head

Highlight • Viewpoint

Rampsgill Head is a 2,598-foot (792 m) Wainwright in the Far Eastern Fells of the Lake District. For the peak bagger, it's a Nuttall, a Wainwright, a Birkett and a Hewitt! It's commonly hiked with it's neighbours Kidsty Pike, The Knott and High Raise, which are all very close by. My favourite view from here is down towards The Nab.

The Knott

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Knott is a 2,425-foot (739 m) Wainwright in the Far Eastern Fells of the Lake District. If you approach this fell from Rampsgill Head then the ascent is very short as you've done all the hard work already! The Knott is a popular short detour on the Coast to Coast trail and it's very worthwhile for the spectacular views. A dry stone wall runs up the spine of this fell.

Angle Tarn

Highlight • Lake

The trail winds around half of Angle Tarn with splendid views from many different perspectives. I recommend walking this on a clear day as then the color of the water is a deep blue, out of this world, and the wind adds sparkling highlights to it.

Hartsop Village Car Park

Highlight • Parking

A great gravel-based car park working on an honesty-box principle. It is primarily used for walkers heading to Hayeswater Gill, Angle Tarn, and Rest Dodd. It is a blessing in disguise in this congested little valley, and it is a decent size too. If this is full, there is also parking about a kilometre away at Cow Bridge Car Park.
