Route Map

Today we had a family outing to the virtually unfrequented Blawith Knott which lies between Broughton-in-Furness and Torver. This is another fell that is small in stature and is easy going, yet offers magnificent views to the Coniston fells.

This walk follows the one described in Wainwright's Blawith Knott chapter in his book 'The Outlying Fells of Lakeland', page 108.
