Lowick Beacon

Walked on 11/11/2007

Lowick Beacon

Many will never have heard of Lowick Beacon which lies to the south of the Lake District National Park boundary, but there are fabulous views from here despite its modest height of 211m. This is not to be confused with the Wainwright Outlier, Beacon Fell, although that is not too far away to the north. Complete with a Beacon Tarn as well, this really is a lovely smaller walk on a sunny Sunday afternoon such as today.

The Coniston fells come into view soon after the start.

The same view from higher up. The trees in the centre hide Beacon Tarn, more of a boggy area than a full blown tarn. Interesting to note that on the map it is marked with black lettering rather than the more usual blue for stretches of water.
