“Bleaberry Fell is a superb viewpoint, ideally situated for a long and lazy contemplation of a beautiful panorama”

A Wainwright

A wonderful linear walk traversing the central spine of high ground between Grasmere and Keswick, being in the exact centre of the Lake District this route has the 360° panoramic views you would expect from it's position.

Ullscarf726 metres / 2382 feet
High Tove515 metres / 1690 feet
High Seat608 metres / 1995 feet
Bleaberry Fell590 metres / 1936 feet
Walla Crag379 metres / 1243 feet

“For the man who wants to get away from it all”

A Wainwright

We begin by getting the mini-bus to Grasmere from Keswick, from where we will walk back to Keswick over the Central Fells.

From Grasmere we walk up the track through Far Easdale from where we climb onto the wide ridge at Greenup Edge. At this point we turn north, with views over the whole of the Lake District as we follow the long wide ridge to Keswick.

On the way we take in the fells of Ullscarf, High Tove, High Seat, Bleaberry Fell and Walla Crag before dropping down into the woods for a shaded finale into the centre of Keswick.

Although this walk is a long one, much of the height gain is done at the start, with most of the day spent high in the fells which really form the centre of the whole Lake District.

Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above.

We do not have a set minimum age for this event, however, you know your child best, therefore please bear in mind this is an open event of varying ages, if you are not confident your child can complete this event then hiring a private guide could be a more suitable option.

As this is an open event all under 18's must be accompanied by an adult.

We plan to walk whatever the weather, unless it is dangerous to do so.

Mountain weather can be a little unpredictable, but we do keep an eye on the forecasts leading up to walks, should the forecast mean that the walk is not possible then we will contact you as soon as we have the forecast and offer you the following options:
- A more suitable walk on the same date taking into consideration the weather conditions
- A transfer to the same walk on another date
- A full refund

Question:

Are dogs allowed on this walk?

Answers:

Posted by John Scadding on Tuesday, 12 September 2017

Yes, dogs are allowed on all our walks.

However we do cross farmland and common land where animals will be grazing, there will be large sections of the walk, if not all, where dogs will be required to be on a lead.
