Hiking

Broom Fell has a really large summit cairn and also a wind shelter. It stands at 1,677 feet (511 m). It's often climbed from the direction of Graystones or Lord's Seat (its higher neighbour) over grassy trails. I love the view to Skiddaw from the summit.

Broom Fell has a lovely large cairn on the summit and a cool little half shelter too. The summit though is a nearby spot height.
