Place Fell on the eastern shores of Ullswater is a wonderful viewpoint over much of the high land surrounding Ullswater, and when combined with a walk along the lakeshore path, along the eastern shores of Ullswater, makes a great shorter days walking.
The fellside leading to the summit of Place Fell is varied, from woodlands on the lower slopes over the bracken and heather covered slopes to the rocky outcrops around the summits and the northern ridges there is always something of interest.
Summits included on this route:
