Today's walk: High Knott (Wainwright's Outlying Fells p18)


Kentmere from the first field onto High Knott


there is now a stile a bit north of the field corner where AW climbs the wall ..


.. but his next "unusual stile" is very awkward - perhaps because there is no right of way


the cairn on High Knott with Height Farm beyond


the plaque to Thomas Williamson of Height on the cairn


Kentmere valley from High Knott


Kentmere from the bridleway


perhaps not the best time to do this walk - looking back at High Knott


another look back along the bridleway

more walls looking east from the settlement


the bridleway north through Mickle Moss ..


.. and further on with Sallows ahead

the ford over Park Beck with Sallows beyond
