Heron Pike, Mountain summit in Lake District, England.
Heron Pike reaches an elevation of 612 meters above sea level and forms part of the Fairfield group in the Eastern Fells.
The nearby Alcock Tarn, formerly named Butter Crags Tarn, underwent enlargement during the nineteenth century for brown trout stocking purposes.
The summit belongs to multiple recognized hiking classifications, including Birkett Hills, Nuttalls Hill List, and Wainwright Hills in the Lake District.
Hikers can begin their ascent from Rydal or Grasmere villages, following established paths that connect to the Fairfield horseshoe walking route.
The summit area displays distinctive quartz formations and presents views extending toward Lake Windermere and the surrounding mountain landscape.
