Grit Fell

Grit Fell is a mountain summit in the Forest of Bowland that rises to 468 meters above sea level. The landscape features extensive heather moorland with boggy terrain across its slopes.

The mountain forms part of the ancient Forest of Bowland region, which functioned as a royal hunting ground during medieval times. This heritage continues to shape how people engage with the landscape today.

Local hiking groups maintain traditional wooden plank pathways across the mountain's boggy sections, preserving access for new generations of walkers.

Bring detailed maps and proper equipment for the climb, as the paths from Jubilee Tower car park lead through boggy and potentially challenging terrain. Waterproof clothing is essential, as conditions change quickly depending on the weather.

Red patches of grass on the mountain surface mark hidden pools of stagnant water, which are especially common along the path crossing Cabin Flat. These color changes come from plants that thrive in waterlogged conditions.
