Knott Rigg, Mountain summit in Lake District, United Kingdom
The 556-meter Knott Rigg mountain features grass-covered slopes rising from Newlands Pass, connecting with neighboring peaks in the northern Lake District.
The Lake District National Park, established in 1951, incorporated Knott Rigg within its boundaries to protect the natural landscapes of Cumbria for future generations.
Local mountaineering clubs regularly organize guided walks to Knott Rigg as part of their commitment to teaching traditional fell walking techniques.
Hikers access Knott Rigg through parking areas at Newlands Pass, following marked paths that lead directly to the mountain's grassy summit ridge.
The mountain forms a natural partnership with Ard Crags, creating a twin-peaked ridge that provides walkers with contrasting views of Newlands Valley.
