Above Wasdale

"Many of the lesser fells of Lakeland make up for their lack of height by an aggressive fierceness of expression that seems more appropriate to greater mountains and an intimidating ruggedness and wildness of terrain that makes their ascent rather more formidable than their size and altitude would suggest. Middle Fell, overlooking Wastwater, comes into this category."
A.Wainwright

To the north of the Wasdale Valley, high above the shores of Wastwater and with views across the Irish Sea to the Isle of Man lie the mountains of Buckbarrow and Middle Fell which rise north to the summit of Seatallan.

Although these fells are only a stones throw from the more popular Wasdale mountains of Scafell Pike, Great Gable and Pillar far fewer venture onto the slopes.

The views from these fells towards the higher summits such as Scafell Pike, Scafell and Great Gable across Wast Water are outstanding, one of the best views of the Scafell Range is from Middle Fell, looking across Wast Water.
