Bleaberry Fell

Bleaberry Fell is a mountain summit in the Lake District's central fells, rising to about 590 meters above sea level. The top features a small wind shelter and two notable rock outcrops that mark its highest points.

The mountain belongs to the ancient Central Fells region and has served as a natural boundary between Borrowdale and Thirlmere valleys for centuries. The area's position made it an important reference point for people moving between these neighboring valleys.

The summit is part of several British mountain classifications that have made it notable among hill walkers and outdoor enthusiasts across the country. These classifications connect it to wider British hiking traditions and keep the place relevant to modern visitors.

Multiple walking paths reach the summit from Great Wood car park in Borrowdale, taking one to two hours depending on your route choice. The path is easy to follow in dry conditions but becomes muddy and slippery after rain, so good footwear is essential.

The summit contains rare andesite lava formations that give it distinctive geological features often missed by casual walkers. These volcanic rocks are part of the Lake District's complex underground history formed millions of years ago.
