Brandreth, Mountain summit in Lake District, England
Brandreth rises to 715 meters with three connecting ridges forming a triangular shape between Great Gable and Haystacks in the Western Fells.
The northern slope contains Dubs Quarry, an abandoned slate extraction site that represents the industrial activities that shaped this region of Cumbria.
The mountain forms part of multiple recognized climbing challenges including Wainwrights, Nuttalls, Hewitts, and the Bob Graham Round mountaineering circuit.
Hikers access the summit through established paths from Honister Pass, with alternative routes starting from Gatesgarth along Warnscale Beck or through Borrowdale.
The summit features a cairn at a fence junction with additional rock formations located 35 meters WSW and another cairn 60 meters SSE.
