Kentmere Pike

Kentmere Pike rises to 730 meters between Kentmere and Longsleddale valleys, featuring a grassy dome summit marked by an Ordnance Survey column on its eastern edge.

The western slopes contain extensive evidence of former quarrying activities, with the large Wrengill Quarry positioned just north of the main summit area.

The mountain forms part of the Kentmere Horseshoe, a traditional walking circuit that incorporates ridges from both sides of the valley and higher fells.

Access to the summit requires following the ancient grooved path from High Lane in Kentmere, which meets the ridgetop wall south of the highest point.

The summit provides views across Lakeland, including the Ill Bell ridge, Coniston fells, Scafell group, and extends south toward Windermere and Morecambe Bay.
