Sale Fell, Mountain summit in Lake District, England
Description
Sale Fell is a mountain in the Lake District reaching 359 meters, with grassy slopes that rise gently to a small rock cairn at its top. The summit opens up views across Bassenthwaite Lake and the surrounding fells.
History
The mountain was first mapped and documented in Alfred Wainwright's walking guides during the mid-20th century. These guides introduced the mountain to walkers across the region.
Culture
Local people walk these slopes regularly and gather at the summit to look out over the surrounding countryside. This everyday use has made it an important part of life in the Lake District community.
Practical
Several paths lead to the summit starting from Wythop Mill and the Pheasant Inn, both with parking nearby. The routes are well-marked and pass through varied terrain, so it is wise to dress according to the weather and bring sturdy boots.
Did you know?
From the summit you can see Skiddaw and Helvellyn, two of the region's best-known peaks, which look impressive from here. On the eastern slope lies part of Wythop Wood conifer forest, which gives that side a different character.
