Loughrigg Fell, Hiking summit in Lake District, England
Loughrigg Fell is a 335-meter hill in the Lake District with gentle slopes and multiple paths winding around its sides. From the top, you see across to Grasmere, Rydal Water, and the dramatic peaks of the Langdale Pikes.
Stone was quarried from the eastern side during the 1800s, leaving caves and marks on the hillside. This industrial activity shaped the landscape you see today.
William Wordsworth walked these paths during the early 1800s, drawing inspiration from the landscapes for his poetry and literary works.
The fell is accessible from several entry points, with the White Moss car park providing the most convenient starting point for the main route. The paths are clearly marked and suit different walking abilities.
The summit holds both an Ordnance Survey marker and a large cairn positioned about three meters apart on different rock outcrops. This unusual arrangement makes the actual high point slightly ambiguous to visitors.
