Walk Overview
What can you say about this very short and easy walk from the new car park at
Pooley Bridge ? - its not the most exhilarating Outlier that you will ever do and it
certainly is the worst view you will get from any summit. Its family friendly, and by
the route described here is the least steep way up to a completely arbitary summit
The fairly new car park at Pooley Bridge is the start point for this walk.
At the time of writing this it was £5 for 2 hours, but in all honesty 30 minutes
will be all it would take
Immediately outside of the car park on the right is a low lying forest track
that basically circumnavigates the entire fell. We chose however to walk back
down the main road in (A592) to get a unhindered view of Ullswater
Looking South down Ullswater towards Hallin Fell from the main road
A short distance past the Steamer terminal on the right a path turns off
the main road and cuts up into the wooded area
The path is stepped initially
Through the handgate and turn immediate left
This wide path through the trees offers the least steep option of getting to the summit
Take the right hand fork that climbs up towards the summit. The left track
continues around the base of the fell
Follow the well defined path through the trees
Approaching the summit or at least the point at which you cant go any higher
Look out for a solitary stone which somebody has kindly placed to denote the high
point. Click here for a 360 degree view (its not worth it really!)
