Numerous hiking groups gather at Esk Pike throughout the year to complete the circuit connecting Scafell Pike and Bowfell mountains.

Visitors can access the summit via multiple routes, with the main trail starting from Great Langdale and passing through Ore Gap.

The summit contains distinctive red soil at Ore Gap due to the presence of hematite deposits in the geological formation.
