Bakestall, Mountain summit in Lake District Northern Fells, England.
Located seven kilometers north of Keswick, Bakestall reaches 673 meters in elevation and features Dead Crags, a 150-meter slate wall descending into the northern corrie.
The slopes of Bakestall contain remains of a lead mine, with its entrance still visible near Dead Beck on the western side of the mountain.
Alfred Wainwright included Bakestall in his Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells, documenting the mountain's features and establishing its recognition among hikers.
The summit access requires following a track to Skiddaw House, continuing toward Whitewater Dash falls, then ascending Birkett Edge to reach the mountain top.
Whitewater Dash, positioned at the base of Bakestall, forms multiple cascades along Dash Beck, creating one of the Lake District National Park's notable waterfalls.
