Clough Head, Mountain summit in Cumbria, England
Clough Head rises to 726 meters at the northern end of the Helvellyn range, featuring steep eastern slopes and a western face with rocky crags.
The mountain's lower section, Threlkeld Knotts, contains evidence of Iron Age settlements and later served as a granite quarrying site until the 1980s.
The peak belongs to three recognized classifications of English hills: Birkett Hills, Hewitt Hills, and Wainwright Hills in the Lake District region.
Four primary walking routes lead to the summit, accessible from different points along the Old Coach Road or from the lane near Newsham Farm.
An abandoned railway goods wagon remains on the mountainside, repurposed as a storage or shelter facility for past mountain activities.
