Walked up from car park (NY 513450)- easy; a lot of mountain bike tracks, views through thinned out forest. With Pete. Lots of mountain bike riders. | pwheeler | 17/03/2024 |
Muddy paths today but still very pleasant. The summit area is a fine dome, open with surrounding tree cover | Colin Crawford | 19/11/2023 |
Reminded me of Surrey (!) with its pine trees and sandy hills -with lovely twisting paths. There is as seriously steep banked mountain bike track descending west from the summit. Also seriously steep is the excellent Armathwaite sandstone crag on the riverbank - popular with climbers where a gang us once spent a happy afternoon on a top rope tying to teeter up an extreme slab using miniscule holds, friction and hope. | Chris Pearson | 24/10/2023 |
Path up through the woods from the CP. | robertphillips | 08/09/2023 |
Short walk up from parking at 51357 45071. Mountain bikers with phones on their handlebars filming their rides. Why? | clivevilla | 16/04/2023 |
Delightful Tump, roadside parking and path to the summit. | Minto | 28/10/2022 |
Small dedicated, stoned parking area almost due east of the summit. Follow the track from the car park into the wood and turn right when reaching a clear north west/south east running path. An obvious summit with a distinct mound is a short distance ahead. | moorsman | 04/08/2022 |
From parking at the top. Down to river and pub. Back over the top. With B, B and R. | jenx | 03/01/2022 |
From carpark using the dense path network. A lot of birdlife in the wood which seems to have largely survived a recent devastating storm. | fasgadh | 02/12/2021 |
Followed paths from parking place to the east. A bit disappointing as I expected the wood to be cleaner, but it is mainly conifer. | JohnW | 25/05/2021 |
From bridge, out north on river. Then back over hill using road, bridleway and paths through the wood. With Band R. | jenx | 11/03/2021 |
Nice circular walk from parking area at Coombshead. Longdales, down to river and back through snowy woods. With Bryher. | jenx | 15/01/2021 |
Parked on the wide bridge at Armathwaite. Lovely circular route along the river and around the woods. Great sculpture in woods on main track. With Éire & Alfie. | Dangerous Dave | 09/11/2020 |
Midday, 8 degrees, easterlies, showers, easy path to summit, with Bag For Life. | Wycombe Wanderer | 24/09/2020 |
Quick walk up after Croglin Fell, we really enjoyed the late summer light through the trees on this one. Along by the River, then up the side of the first wall in woodland, then picked our way along and back down to lower tracks by heading south at first from summit. Any number of pleasant tracks down. | nickywood1 | 19/09/2020 |
From parking area as described by others. May have done this hill before, climbed at Armathwaite Crag years ago, down to the W from here. | Aye Jimmy | 18/09/2020 |
From parking area ESE of top. Very steep drop on the west side of the top. | chrisbien | 18/07/2020 |
Delightful walking, best Cumbria Tump outside Lakes park boundary. Don't park where the dog walkers go from, instead at Armthwaite bridge over Eden river, follow the RoW upstream through lovely tree lined banks. When you pass into the woods follow the wall line ascending the hill directly, cross over another track, through a gap in wall the MTB tracks all the way to the summit. Area is criss-crossed by tracks,open woodland, birdsong. Continued easily to the dog walkers car park then on through Longdales hamlet then superb green lane down to the minor road, turn left and back to parking by bridge. Fabulous. | nordicstar | 14/05/2020 |
Lovely woodland walking from Armathwaite. With R and B. | jenx | 14/05/2020 |
In passing. Good off road parking at NY 5137 4505. Multitude of woodland tracks. Pleasant top approx 400m from road. | jonglew | 15/04/2020 |
Bike ride from home to parking area (NY 5135 4507) then short walk on path through pleasant woodland. When 60m from summit turn left onto minor path that goes right over the top. There is a benchmark in the woods, but don't get too excited - it's one of the 'Eden Benchmark' sculptures - https://www.edenbenchmarks.org.uk/sculptures.html | mae | 07/04/2020 |
