Yoke

Yoke is a mountain peak in the Lake District and forms part of the Thornthwaite Fell group alongside Ill Bell and Froswick. The summit offers expansive views across the surrounding hills and valleys below.

This peak was shaped through geological processes spanning millions of years that created its sedimentary rock formations. The mountains in this region are among the oldest ranges in Britain.

The Lake District's mountains have influenced numerous British writers and artists, with Yoke contributing to the natural landscape that shaped their works.

Several marked hiking trails lead to the summit, with parking areas at the base offering different starting points for routes of varying difficulty. Visit during dry weather when the paths are safer and more enjoyable to walk.

The summit serves as a junction point where several walking routes meet and connect hikers to an extensive network of paths across the region. Many visitors pass through here as a waypoint between other popular nearby peaks.
