High Raise

High Raise reaches an elevation of 802 meters above sea level, offering views across multiple valleys of the Lake District National Park.

The mountain's formation dates back to the last Ice Age when glacial movements carved deep valleys and created the current landscape patterns.

Local shepherds have maintained traditional farming practices on the slopes of High Raise for generations, preserving ancient agricultural methods.

Multiple trails lead to the summit from Grasmere and Langdale villages, with stone markers guiding hikers through various difficulty levels.

The summit contains a triangulation point that surveyors used to map the entire Lake District region during the 19th century Ordnance Survey.
