Mellbreak, Mountain in Lake District, United Kingdom
Mellbreak rises 512 meters above Crummock Water with two distinct summits connected by a kilometer-long depression featuring peaty ground surfaces.
The mountain paths developed during the 19th century when Victorian travelers began exploring the Lake District's natural landmarks for recreational purposes.
Mellbreak belongs to the Wainwrights, a collection of 214 Lake District peaks documented by Alfred Wainwright in his influential mountain guidebooks.
Hikers access the mountain from Park Bridge in Loweswater, completing a 6.6-mile circular route that includes steep ascents and scree sections.
The mountain's northern face presents a vertical wall dropping directly into Crummock Water, creating rare geological formations in the Lake District.
