Steel Fell, Mountain peak in Lake District, United Kingdom.
Steel Fell is a mountain in the Lake District with a height of around 550 meters and a triangular shape. Ridges extend from its summit toward the north, west, and southeast.
The mountain lies within the Lake District National Park, established in 1951 to protect the natural landscape of northern England. The creation of the park marked a turning point for conservation in the region.
Steel Fell forms part of the Bob Graham Round, a challenging 66-mile running circuit across 42 Lake District peaks within 24 hours.
The summit can be reached via marked trails from Grasmere or Wythburn, with the ascent taking roughly two hours. Clear weather provides the best conditions for exploring and enjoying views from the peak.
The mountain acts as a natural boundary between Thirlmere reservoir and Grasmere lake. From the summit, visitors can see both bodies of water at the same time.
