"A beautiful climb. Do it!"

A Wainwright

The imposing face of Fleetwith Pike towers above Buttermere, a magnificent mountain with spectacular views over Buttermere and Crummock Water to the west as well as over the Solway Coast beyond.

Th climb up Fleetwith Edge, direct from Gatesgarth is not as difficult as it may look, a series of easy rocky steps lead to the summit.

The northern slopes of the fell are heavily mined with Honister Mines now a major tourist attraction.

Testimonials

Rating:

Just a quick message to say that the walk was great fun. I was impressed that my guide Rick was able to arrive on time even though the traffic was madness due to a race taking place in the same location. The walk was broken down into easy to manage segments and I felt very confident throughout the walk. I had been nervous about the drop that everyone spoke about. However, I followed the footsteps of the guide with ease. I really enjoyed myself and will be booking Rick for my next walk in the lakes. My dog, Koda enjoyed the walk and then we went to the Keswick Ghost Walk to work up an appetite for our pub dinner. It was a great day out. Many thanks Rick!
