Tips

June 17, 2021

Hiking

Whinlatter (Brown How) is a 517m fell in the north west Lake District. The summit is marked by a wind shelter with a little stone seat. A great place to stop out of the wind and enjoy a snack and the lovely view! The highest point of Whinlatter is a little further along (at 525m) but it was the Brown How top the Alfred Wainwright chose to include in his guidebooks.

Hiking

A great location with great views on a sunny day. There is no defined footpath marked on OS to the top but there is a defined path traversing the hill from East to West or vice versa. Cool shelter on the top.
