The huge grassy ridge of High Street is the highest point of the Far Eastern Fells and the grassy slopes give some great ridge walking.
Along the High Street ridge runs a Roman Road, the road between Brougham Fort at Penrith and the fort at Ambleside.
Let our experienced guides take you from Hartsop in the Patterdale Valley on a circuit of these fells with their stunning scenery where we often see Red Deer in the valleys and even the occasional sighting of a Golden Eagle.
Summits included on this route:
The Knott739 metres / 2425 feet
Rampsgill Head792 metres / 2598 feet
High Street828 metres / 2717 feet
Thornthwaite Crag784 metres / 2572 feet
Gray Crag699 metres / 2293 feet
From the village of Hartsop we will climb by the Hayeswater Reservoir via the summits of The Knott and Rampsgill Head, crossing the Straits of Riggindale with spectacular views down over Riggindale, the home of the last remaining Golden Eagle, before climbing to the summit of High Street, the Highest of the Far Eastern Fells.
The wonderful summit of High Street is a wonderful viewpoint of the eastern fells, a gentle walk along the summit ridge will lead us to the summit of Thornthwaite Crag, with a tall pillar of stones on the site of a Roman beacon fire.
From Thornthwaite Crag we will descend north along the fine ridge to Gray Crag before descending back to Hartsop Village.
Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above.
