Rannerdale Knotts, Mountain summit in Lake District National Park, United Kingdom
Rannerdale Knotts rises 355 meters above sea level, featuring distinct rocky outcrops and ridges that form part of the Kirkstile Formation.
The mountain valley served as a battlefield between local Cumbrians with Norse allies against Norman invaders during the late 11th century.
Local folklore associates the spring bluebell blooms in Rannerdale Valley with the blood of fallen Norman warriors from the ancient battle.
The circular walking route starts from Buttermere village, covering 5.2 kilometers with 283 meters of ascent over steep grassy paths.
The summit provides views of Buttermere lake backed by Great Gable mountain through a natural frame of surrounding higher peaks.
