Pooley Bridge- Salmond's Hill- Bennethead Banks- Maiden's Castle- Soulby Fell (both tops)- Pooley Bridge with brother, Pete. Accessed as others, gate by Maiden's Castle off Ullswater Way (high quality path here). It was too wet and windy to have lunch here so we waited until we got to woodland below. | pwheeler | 10/03/2024 |
Parked on the verge just passed the signpost for Waterfoot, Grid 445241. Followed the path through the gates until Grid 451243 then over the gate following a faint animal track to the top, returned to the main path and followed it to the gate at Grid 453242. followed the wood edge up over long grass to the fence then continued to the gate, go through and pick up the path again to the top. Return by the main path. | smocks and denims | 25/09/2023 |

Bennethead Banks,Soulby Fell, Soulby Fell North Top, Salmond's Hill. | IWC | 11/10/2020 |
2/3 Parked above Wreay climbed Bennethead Banks from minor road to Dacre. Then directly opposite used Ullswater Way to pick up Soulby Fell and Salmonds Hill. (Then a drive roudn to Soulby North Top see separate log) | nickywood1 | 21/06/2020 |
From the car park at the junction, round of the Soulby tops. Ground exceedingly wet underfoot | Colin Crawford | 20/02/2020 |
Followed permissive paths from Bennethead, but the route not well marked and after prolonged wet weather the ground was cut up by the cattle. A better route would be to follow the Ullswater Way. | JohnW | 25/11/2019 |
It is possible to take a direct line from Salmond's hill, firstly heading along an obvious cattle path. When this path reaches a gate go directly alongside the fence/hedge heading for the summit. Cows all ignored me. | moorsman | 16/10/2019 |
Followed new Ullswater Way public footpath from road just north of Wreay after doing Bennethead Banks. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 04/03/2019 |

Parked roadside to SW for this, Salmond's Hill and Bennethead Bank. Pleasant walk on permissive paths, then cattle pasture through Maiden Head to the HP. Near enough direct route to Salmond's Hill. | jonglew | 23/07/2017 |

From Salmond's Hill. Highest point possibly just inside wood; able to check this at leisure whilst waiting for farmer to finish feeding his cattle on the other summit, pasture with wooden post near muddy pond. | Aye Jimmy | 18/03/2015 |
Up from layby at Waterfoot through caravan site | mcbiydw2 | 05/08/2014 |
From parking on road just past Wrey, took permitted path through long grass, then cut up steeply to Soulby hill from lovely Maiden Castle. Lot of cows on top. Back down and up from barn to Salmond's Hill. More very long grass to wade through. Lovely views of Ullswater and hills on a balmy warm evening. | nordicstar | 26/06/2014 |
