Lank Rigg, Summit in Lake District, England

Located in the Western Fells, Lank Rigg rises to 541 meters and presents gentle grassy slopes surrounded by the River Calder and Worm Gill.

The summit contains ancient habitation evidence, including a tumulus near the top and multiple enclosures and cairns scattered across the surrounding area.

In 1965, Alfred Wainwright placed a two-shilling coin under a stone at the summit to mark the completion of his Pictorial Guide series.

The main access point begins at the Cold Fell road between Ennerdale Bridge and Calder Bridge, where visitors find a designated parking area.

The summit features an Ordnance Survey triangulation column, offering extensive views over the coastal plain and neighboring peaks like Blake Fell.
