Brown Pike

Brown Pike is a mountain summit in the Lake District, England, standing at 682 meters above sea level. A stone cairn marks the top, and from here you can see neighboring peaks like Buck Pike, Dow Crag, and Old Man of Coniston across the fell landscape.

The mountain is classified within the Birkett Hills system, which catalogs Lake District peaks according to specific elevation thresholds. This classification helped establish it as a recognized climbing destination within the region's fell-walking tradition.

Local mountaineers regularly conduct group expeditions to Brown Pike as part of the tradition of climbing all significant peaks in the Lake District region.

Walking paths connect this summit to nearby peaks, making it easy to plan a route that includes multiple tops in the same visit. Weather conditions at this elevation can change quickly, so check forecasts before heading out and dress in layers.

The summit displays exposed slate and granite rock formations shaped by thousands of years of weathering and frost action. These geological patterns reveal how the peak was carved by ice-age processes that are still reshaping the fell landscape today.
