Devoke Water
Devoke Water is in the Western Part of the Lake District, a place I’ve been meaning to visit for years but hardly ever go over this far West. Devoke Water is best reached from Birker Fell, again a place I’ve never been until July 2011.

Coniston Old Man
Coniston Old Man is probably one of the most famous Lake District fells. It dominates the South Lakes and the picturesque village of Coniston.
Visible from all around the South Lakes Coniston Old Man and it’s close neighbours provide a decent collection of interesting fells that make Coniston such a good base for walkers.
Catbells
Catbells is well regarded as a family friendly Fell in the Northern Lake District. Popular with families based in Keswick, this moderately sized fell offers a great half day walk for everyone. Great views over Derwent Water and Keswick to the East and the Newlands Valley with Causey Pike and Crag Hill to the West. Bassenthwaite Lake is to the North just below the Western slopes of Skiddaw.
Loughrigg Fell from Rydal
Loughrigg Fell is situated in the center of the Lake District on the southern shore of Grasmere with Loughrigg Tarn to the East and Rydal Water to the West. Loughrigg Fell is a relatively low lying fell but given it stands alone you get a decent view in all directions from the Summit.
Scafell Pike
Scafell Pike is Englands highest peak. Sat at the heads of the Wasdale and Eskdale valleys, Scafell Pike is a very popular climb given it “highest” accolade.
The Langdale Pikes
The Langdale Pikes are a collection of 3 Summits in the centre of the Langdale Valley in the Lake District. Made up of Harrison Stickle, Pavey Ark and Pike o Blisco they have a distinctive classic Lakeland appearance. Once your familiar with the Langdale Pikes you’ll notice them from various locations. You can even see them from the M6 approaching Cumbria on a clear day.
Crinkle Crags from Langdale
Crinkle Crags is an attractive collection of 5 individual summits that make up this unusual looking fell. Directly opposite Bowfell and commanding a great position at the head of the Langdale Valley Crinkle Crags is well worth a visit.
Bowfell via The Band
Bowfell is the Lake District 4th highest peak. Sat at the Head of the beautiful Langdale and Eskdale Valleys. Bowfell has many options for ascent, on my first visit I chose Langdale as my starting point.
Haystacks and the High Stile Ridge
The Western Lake District is one of the most naturally beautiful parts of the Lakes in my view. Its quieter and less touristy than Keswick, Ambleside and Grasmere. Buttermere and Wasdale are the main villages in these areas and great bases for several magnificent walks in this area.
Great Gable From Honister Slate Mine
Great Gable sits at the Head of the Wasdale valley and dominates the scene viewed from Wastwater. The collection of 3 peaks here form the Lake District National Parks logo. Yewbarrow, Great Gable and Lingmell.
Helvellyn via Striding Edge
Helvellyn is the third highest Peak in the Lake District and has one of the most famous ridges on its East side. Striding Edge is a magnificent edge of rock leading to the Summit .
