Dollywaggon Pike, Mountain summit in Lake District, England
The Dollywaggon Pike summit rises to 858 meters above sea level, featuring steep eastern cliffs and gentler grass slopes on its western side.
Mining operations for copper took place around Birkside Gill between 1840 and 1866, leaving visible remnants of excavation levels in the mountainside.
The name derives from Old Norse language elements, with 'dolgr' meaning giant or fiend and 'veginn' translating to lifted or raised.
Multiple ascent routes reach the summit, with the main path from Patterdale via The Tongue offering direct access to the mountain peak.
The mountain's drainage patterns changed significantly after 1884 when the Thirlmere reservoir project altered the flow direction of Raise Beck.
