Arnside Knott, Limestone summit in Cumbria, England
Arnside Knott is a limestone summit in Cumbria that rises 159 meters above sea level, standing above the Kent Estuary and the surrounding lowlands. From the top, visitors can see across to the Lake District mountains and take in views of the coastal landscape below.
The hill served as the site of a golf club that operated from 1906 until World War II began, when it permanently closed. After the war, the facilities were never rebuilt and the land returned to natural vegetation.
The National Trust manages this natural area since 1929, implementing traditional grazing practices with Highland cattle to maintain the landscape's characteristics.
Multiple paths lead to the summit, with a circular route of roughly 3 kilometers taking about two hours from the car park. The trail is well-marked on most sections and suits various fitness levels.
This hill holds the distinction of being England's lowest Marilyn, requiring a minimum of 150 meters topographic prominence from surrounding terrain.
