Knott, Caldbeck
Knott is a mountain in the northern part of the English Lake District. It is the highest point of the ''Back o'Skiddaw'' region, an area of wild and unfrequented moorland to the north of Skiddaw and Blencathra. Other tops in this region include High Pike, Carrock Fell and Great Calva. The fell's slopes are mostly smooth, gentle, and covered in grass, with a few deep ravines. It stands a long way from a road and requires a long walk across the moor top get to it; this, as well as the fact that it is hidden from the rest of the Lake District by the two aforementioned giants, make it one of the most unfrequented tops in the Lakes. When it is climbed it is most often from Mungrisdale or from the north via Great Sca Fell. The word ''Knott'' is of Cumbric origin, and means simply "hill". Topography Skiddaw and Blencathra are the best known of the Northern Fells, fronting the range as they loom above Keswick and the road to Penrith. Behind this wall is a further group of fells ...

The Knott
The Knott is a fell in the English Lake District, standing above Hayeswater in the Far Eastern Fells. It is an outlier of Rampsgill Head, being the high point of the ridge from there to Rest Dodd. Topography The ridge from Rampsgill Head travels north westerly, with The Knott protruding from the south west side. The topography here is unusual, with Well Gill flowing along the top of the broad ridge for nearly half a mile, before finally running down the south western flank as Sulphury Gill. The small lake of Hayeswater lies below The Knott on this flank, at the bottom of steep scree slopes. A deep gully runs down the fellside from just south of the summit. Viewed from this side The Knott is an impressive conical summit, although its inferiority to Rampsgill Head is apparent from other directions. The north eastern side of the ridge falls over rough ground to the head of Rampsgill in the Martindale catchment. After passing Sulphury Gill, the ridge continuing from The Knott ...

The Knott (Stickle Pike)
Stickle Pike is an outlying fell located in the southern Lake District near the small town of Broughton-in-Furness, with the summit situated between the lower Duddon Valley and the quiet smaller valley of Dunnerdale. Despite its low altitude (375 m, or 1230 ft) the sharp, conical summit is prominent in views from the Broughton and high Furness areas. As with many of the Dunnerdale and Coniston fells, there are reminders of the area's former mining past in the form of many spoil heaps, disused levels and shafts. The fell is also notable for its wide-ranging views despite its low altitude, especially to the Scafells to the north and the sands of the Duddon Estuary to the south. A "stickle" is a hill with a prominent rocky top. The fell is most easily (and commonly) ascended from the Kiln Bank fell road between Hall Dunnerdale and Broughton Mills, with the top lying less than half a mile from the road summit. An alternative ascent (suggested by Alfred Wainwright) can b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
