Clough Head
|
| "Clough Head is an interesting fell, not only for walkers and explorers but for the ornithologist and botanist, the geologist and antiquarian also; while the merely curious traveller may content himself by puzzling out why and for what purpose Fisher's wife trod so persistently that remarkable path to Jim's Fold." |

The northernmost end of the Helvellyn ridge, after crossing the broad grassy ridge of Stybarrow Dodd, Watson's Dodd and Great Dodd descends over the lesser summit of Clough Head before dropping steeply down to the River Glenderamackin and Threlkeld. Although not as impressive as Blencathra to the north Clough Head is an imposing sight from Threlkeld and the A66 between Keswick and Penrith.
The grassy and damp eastern slopes above Dockray are in stark contrast to the western flanks where steep rocky crags and gullies drop to St John's In The Vale, this flank gives the most interesting ascents, including the paths over Threlkeld Knotts and Fisher's Wife's Rake, the fine intricate path that climbs between the crags to the easier slopes above.
