Walk Overview
The last day of our week long stay in Ambleside and we finished with a belting
short circular walk from Staveley Village taking in Reston Scar and Hugill Fell.
I cannot recommend this walk highly enough
The start point of the walk from the war mounument in Staveley village
Walk around a quarter of a mile down Brow Lane after the monument and a path
between the houses leads up to the open fell side
Setting off between the houses on to the open fell side
On the open fell side now and the path climbs gently
Take the right hand track through the gate
The stone track climbs gradually
Looking back to Staveley from the path
Through the gate to get on to the summit approach, the path meanders
gently towards a large grassy area
First sight of Reston Scar (just left of centre)
As we approach the summit the views start to open up. Here looking towards
the Kentmere Horseshoe
The summit cairn on Reston Scar

Views out over to the Langdale Pikes
Looking towards the Coniston Fells from the summit
The next summit of the day Hugill Fell. A track down leads to the hand gate
Approaching the gate
Through the gate and head for the wooded area
Follow the path through the wooded area
The path leads to a second hand gate. Through it turn sharp right
Hugill Fell from the path
The path is clearly defined as it climbs gently towards the summit
On the summit approach
There are a number of grass trods that branch off from the main track.
Take any of them to get to the summit

The Kentmere Horseshoe from the summit
The Langdale Pikes from the summit
Looking to High Knott and the Williamson Monument. The subject of some
controversy by Wainwright Outlying Fell baggers as the summit is completely
out of bounds as is guarded over zealously by the Farmer
The entrance gate to the approach to High Knott. Its quite clear what one
fell walker thinks about the Farmers decision to prevent access :)
