Bonscale Pike, Mountain summit in Lake District National Park, England.
Rising to 524 meters, Bonscale Pike features a stone tower near its summit and presents expansive views across Ullswater and neighboring fells.
The peak became widely recognized after its inclusion in Alfred Wainwright's detailed guidebooks of the Lake District, published during the 1950s and 1960s.
Local hiking traditions include following established paths from Howtown to the summit, forming part of the broader Lake District walking network.
Visitors can start their ascent from St Peter's Church at Martindale Hause, where parking facilities accommodate multiple vehicles for day hikers.
Two stone pillars mark the summit area, with the lower structure known as Bonscale Tower serving as a navigation landmark for fell walkers.
