Wansfell, Fell in Lake District, England
Wansfell features two distinct summits, with Baystones reaching 488 meters and Wansfell Pike standing at 482 meters above sea level.
The name Wansfell originates from Old Norse language elements, with connections to Woden, indicating ancient Norse settlements in the Lake District region.
The fell hosts an annual winter race where participants complete a four-kilometer course between Christmas and New Year celebrations.
The main walking route starts from Ambleside via Stockghyll Lane, following a stone-stepped path that leads to the summit over 6.3 miles.
The fell underwent multiple status changes as a Marilyn classification due to varying summit position recordings and subsequent measurement surveys.
