Bowfell, Mountain summit in Eskdale, England
The 902-meter pyramid-shaped peak features steep crags, rocky outcrops, and a broad plateau connected to multiple ridges in the Lake District National Park.
The mountain gained recognition through Alfred Wainwright's collection of Lake District guides, where it ranked among his selection of the six finest peaks.
Bowfell stands as the sixth-highest mountain in the Lake District, forming a central point where the valleys of Eskdale, Great Langdale, and Borrowdale meet.
Multiple ascent paths lead to the summit, with The Band route from Stool End Farm providing the most direct access through marked trails.
The Great Slab near the summit presents a large sheet of volcanic rock, while the Climber's Traverse path crosses through the River of Boulders.
