Silver How, Mountain summit in Lake District, England
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.
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.
The peak forms part of the traditional Wainwright Fells, documented extensively in Alfred Wainwright's guides to the Lake District mountains.
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.
From the top you can see across Grasmere Lake toward the surrounding peaks of the Central Fells. The view reaches across to Great Langdale and numerous other mountains in the region.
