Green Gable

Green Gable is a mountain summit in the Western Fells reaching 801 meters, with rocky paths and grassy slopes leading to a stone marker at the peak. The terrain shifts between bare rock and vegetation as you climb higher toward the top.

The mountain sits near Honister Slate Mine, which has operated continuously since 1728 as England's last working slate quarry. Mining traditions have shaped the surrounding landscape and left marks visible from the slopes.

The mountain forms part of the Lake District UNESCO World Heritage Site, where visitors connect with natural landscapes through established hiking traditions.

You can reach the mountain via several trails, with the most direct route starting from Honister Pass and connecting to nearby peaks. Sturdy hiking boots and weather-resistant clothing are essential due to rocky terrain and changeable conditions.

From this summit you can see both Borrowdale and Ennerdale valleys, positioning it as a geographical turning point between several mountain groups. This vantage point lets walkers understand the broader landscape layout in a single view.
