Catbells, Mountain summit in Lake District, United Kingdom.
The 451-meter-high peak stands prominently on the western shore of Derwentwater, featuring two distinct steps in its topographical structure and rocky terrain at the summit.
The mountain's name evolved from 'Cat Bields,' referring to a shelter for wild cats that once inhabited the slopes during earlier periods in English history.
The mountain holds literary significance as writer Hugh Walpole resided at Brackenburn Lodge on its lower slopes, while Beatrix Potter placed Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle's residence on its eastern side.
The walking route spans 5.7 kilometers and takes three hours to complete, with the starting point at Hawes End Landing Stage accessible by launch service from Keswick.
Thomas Arthur Leonard, who introduced outdoor holidays for working-class people, is commemorated with a memorial stone on the lower slopes of the mountain.
