Thunacar Knott, Mountain summit in Lake District, England.
Thunacar Knott rises to 723 meters in elevation and features a northern cairn alongside a higher southern point within the Central Fells region.
The mountain was documented by Alfred Wainwright in his guidebooks, who classified the northern cairn as the primary summit despite its lower elevation.
The summit forms part of the Wainwrights, Nuttalls, and Fellranger classifications, making it a target for mountain collectors seeking completion of these lists.
Access to Thunacar Knott begins at New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel in Great Langdale, following paths through Stickle Ghyll and past Stickle Tarn.
The summit contains outcrops of Seathwaite Fell Formation, displaying distinct layers of volcaniclastic sandstone, tuff, and conglomerate formations.
