Easy safe walk from Grasmere. Great views over Central Fells. Best combined with walks to Great Rigg or Heron Pike
Stone Arthur often over looked, as Dollywagon Pike and Fairfield are higher and up the same path. Once you have been up Stone Arthur you have to come down this fell to go on to another, There is NO ridge walk to the next fell..It's...More
We actually visited the 'Beer guzzler festival' which was very rainy but hey ho! The next day was sunny and bright which is why this walk was chosen for 'ease' and beauty. The steep climb is worth the stunning views .. And I can see...More
a good stiff steep walk up but if you have time carry on up fairfield to complete the fairfield horseshoe a great circular walk 5.5-6 hours round but worth ever step
A 45 minute walk up a clear steep path, mostly steps and stone. Carry on to Great Rigg and Fairfield or just stop for the magical view over Grasmere to the Pikes, Bowfell, Coniston (I could see Wildcat Island), Windermere and northwards to Helvellyn.

Best climb is direct from Grasmere, following the path the zig-zags steeply up the hillside above the small housing estate behind The Swan hotel. The 'top' is hard to define, the highest of several rocky outcrops on this slope which is really a spur from...More
Go up from the Swan Hotel and follow the easy and well marked path, a steepish climb with good views; you can continue past Stone Arthur up to Great Rigg on the Fairfield Horseshoe and then up to Fairfield. The return journey down to Mill...More
It's a Wainwright so worth a visit. Steep climb to start but stop and enjoy the views. Make sure weather forecast is good top is easily hidden on a bad day.
