Route Map
Sleepy Arnside lies just outside the
south-eastern boundary of the Lake District National Park (think
Grange-over-Sands on Mogadon) so I thought I would pay a visit as I was
over that way this morning. Arnside Knott has come to prominence since
May this year when it was promoted to Marilyn status (Marilyn's are a
list of hills which have a relative height of 150m, regardless of
absolute height or other merit. The name is a pun from the Scottish
Munroe's) and is indeed the lowest summit in
England at 159.1 metres. How did it become a 'new' summit? - read
here.
