Ullock Pike, Mountain summit in Bassenthwaite, England.

Rising to 692 meters, Ullock Pike features steep eastern slopes descending to Southerndale valley and western slopes covered in woodland extending to Bassenthwaite Lake.

The mountain's name originates from Old Norse, recorded as Ulvelaik in the 13th century, indicating a location where wolves gathered in the northern Lake District.

The peak gained recognition through Alfred Wainwright's documentation, leading to its classification as a separate fell despite not meeting Hewitt or Nuttall requirements.

Hikers can start from Dodd Wood car park, following a 5-mile circular route that connects to the Allerdale Ramble trail and includes woodland paths.

The summit contains a stone cairn offering views of both Bassenthwaite Lake and Derwent Water, with Longside Edge extending southeast toward Carl Side.
