"being itself of striking appearance, gaunt, steep-sided, a pyramid of tumbled boulders and scree, a desert abandoned to nature."

A Wainwright

A pretty top well off the beaten track, Blake Fell, the highest of the Loweswater Fells, is the culmination of a fine days walking, a circuit of te Loweswater Fells from either Loweswater to the north of Cogra Moss to the west.

The extensive views eastwards form the summit are magnificent stretching as far east as the Helvellyn range.

The ascent from Loweswater is a wonderfl walk, and a circuit of Burnbank Fell, Blake Fell and Gavel Fell combined with the paths either through or above Holme Wood is a wonderful short days walking.

The northeastern spur of Carling Knott, a short detour from the summit gives wonderful views over Loweswater below.

Loweswater Fells 2nd February 2016. It was a blustery, grey day when we set off. It did get more blustery as the day wore on and although the sun came out, it didn't shine where we were! It was frustrating watching it in the far valleys, but it didn't rain!! After the previous few days that was a result! It was a super walk, but I would have enjoyed it more if I'd not been full of cold and generally feeling under the weather. Not the fault of the team guiding us. The other walkers in the group were lovely and I was made to feel very welcome as I was on my own. The top of the fells were very exposed to the wind and both my dog and I were struggling by the second peak and were happy to head back slightly earlier than the rest of the group. I was given very clear and accurate instructions as to how to return to the car park. I also knew that the group would only be half an hour behind me on the descent. I would recommend the Lake District Walker. The guides are knowledgeable and for me, it was fun being able to walk in company. Sometimes doing walks on your own all the time gets a bit dull. The dog's conversational skills are somewhat limited! Hope to be back for another trip soon.
