Although not the most famous mountain in Lakeland and quite minor in the height tables Grange Fell is a gem.

The lower slopes are covered in oak woodlands and the higher rambling summits (there are three tops to Grange Fell) are covered in bracken and heather.

It's joy to explore this rambling fell with spectacular views over , Grange, Derwentwater and Keswick as well as south over the Borrowdale Valley to Scafell Pike and Great Gable.

The Route:
From Grange Bridge we will walk north along the Borrowdale Road for a short distance to Troutdale, the path climbs above the small Troutdale Valley, up through wonderful oak woodland before emerging above the trees as we climb to the summit of Kings How, a great summit on the northern end of Grange Fell with spectacular views over Derwentwater.

From Kings How we will continue south to the summit of Brund Fell, this rocky summit is the highest point of Grange Fell and has spectacular views of all the fells around the Borrowdale Valley including Great Gable and the Langdale Pikes.

An easy descent from the summit leads to the village of Rosthwaite where if the group prefers we can stop for a pub lunch.

From Rosthwaite we will continue to the Derwent River where we will follow the riverside path back to Grange.

Directions:
From Keswick: Leave Keswick on the Borrowdale Road (from the mini roundabout near the co-op) Follow this road past the lake until a road leads to the right, crossing a long but narrow bridge, we will meet at the small car park on the opposite end of the bridge.
