Silver How, Mountain summit in Lake District, England
Description
Silver How is a 395-meter peak in the Lake District with grass-covered slopes and a stone cairn marking the summit. The mountain can be reached by footpaths from nearby Grasmere village.
History
The peak joined the Lake District National Park when it was established in 1951, bringing formal protection to the landscape. This status helped safeguard the mountain slopes for future visitors and walkers.
Culture
The peak forms part of the traditional Wainwright Fells, documented extensively in Alfred Wainwright's guides to the Lake District mountains.
Practical
The walk from Grasmere village takes roughly two hours at a steady pace with clear path markings. Bring sturdy footwear and be prepared for changing weather conditions on the mountain.
