Brae Fell

Brae Fell is a mountain summit in the Uldale Fells of the Lake District, rising to 586 meters. The peak features grassy slopes and a large stone cairn that marks the highest point.

The fell was catalogued by Alfred Wainwright during the 1950s when he documented the Northern Fells region in his guidebooks. This classification as a Wainwright brought it into focus for walkers following these established hiking references.

Local walkers incorporate this fell into circular routes that connect multiple peaks across the Uldale Fells area. The mountain serves as a natural waypoint for those exploring the broader Lake District walking network.

Navigation tools and weather-appropriate clothing are needed here, as visibility can shift suddenly in this part of Cumbria. A map or GPS device is helpful for finding your way, particularly if mist rolls in.

From this summit you can see Bassenthwaite Lake and the surrounding mountains, making it a strong viewpoint in the area. Despite lying near other nearby peaks, it holds its own as a distinct walking destination.
