Latterbarrow (OF)
from Colthouse

Route Map
Weather: Sunny and bright, gradually
getting overcast with snow flurries.
It was a lovely clear morning this
morning so we had a family trek up to another great viewpoint with small
stature, Latterbarrow which is situated just outside Hawkshead. The
large obelisk on the summit of Latterbarrow is clearly visible from
Hawkshead and it makes an inviting target. As we walked, the snow clouds
gathered overhead and gave us a few flurries.
Latterbarrow is described in Wainwright's Latterbarrow chapter in his book 'The Outlying Fells of Lakeland', page
84.
