Great Mell Fell Walk
This walk climbs to Great Mell Fell in the Lake District National Park.
The fell is located just west of Ullswater and stands at a height of 537 metres. It is owned by the National Trust and commands fine views over the surrounding fells. The fell also includes pleasant woodland areas where you can look out for wildlife including roe deer and green woodpeckers.
You can start the walk at the roadside parking area next to Brownrigg Farm. Then follow footpaths north west through the woodland to the hill top, passing Routing Gill on the way.
You can extend the walk by heading east to visit Little Mell Fell and south to Gowbarrow Fell as shown in the video below.
