About Lingmoor Fell | Parking Location | OS Map | Current Weather
Arriving in the lakes after midway, we didn’t think we would be able to find parking for a walk. However, the car park at the foot of Blea Tarn wasn’t full, so we were able to tick off a Wainwright in the shape of Lingmoor Fell on our first half day.
The route up Lingmoor fell is very straightforward, we followed the small road running parallel to Blea Tarn and after 5 minutes of walking, a small path to the right becomes visible. We followed this for about 50 metres of climbing before joining another path which caused us to reverse direction and head up the main body of the fell.
It’s an obvious path through some grassy, slightly rocky sections, but it’s easy-going as far as fell walking goes. On a sunny day like we had, the views open out towards Blea Fell as well as the surrounding peaks. The path heads through a small section of little trees before diverting directly towards the peak of Lingmoor Fell.
There are several different routes here, so we just chose the path that seemed the best and headed straight up. Once we had made our way through the small rocky sections to the top, we were welcomed by the peak of Lingmoor Fell. Not being the biggest does mean the peak doesn’t feel anything too special, that is until you check the views across the Langdales. As with many smaller fells, the views are just amazing, and because we were planning on tackling the Langdale fells the following day, it made it even better as we could start to see the peaks that we were planning on doing.
There were many options down, but due to being a little pressed for time, we settled on heading back the way we came up as it was very easy and quick too. Thanks to the amazing views, we’re already planning a second route where we head up via side pike, possibly heading all the way over to Elterwater for a big day out! Whichever way you take on Lingmoor fell, the views will make it worthwhile.
