Rosthwaite Fell, Mountain summit in Lake District National Park, England
Rosthwaite Fell rises to 612 meters with two distinct peaks, Rosthwaite Cam and Bessyboot, separated by the Tarn at Leaves mountain lake.
The mountain area developed through volcanic activity during the middle Ordovician Period, forming diverse rock layers approximately 460 million years ago.
Traditional sheep farming practices around Rosthwaite Fell have shaped the landscape and maintained the characteristic features of the Lake District region.
Hikers can access the summit via two main routes: from Stonethwaite following Stanger Gill or from the Borrowdale road between Seatoller and Rosthwaite.
The mountain received Site of Special Scientific Interest status in 1985 due to its extensive collection of volcanic rock formations across 230 hectares.
