Brant Fell

Walked on 08/10/2004

Start point: Brantfell Road, Bowness-on-Windermere (SD 406 967)

Brant Fell (OF) from Bowness-on-Windermere

Weather: Sunny and bright.

Today’s walk follows Wainwright’s Brant Fell chapter in his book ‘The Outlying Fells of Lakeland’, page 34.

‘A visitor to Bowness with time to kill, or wishing to escape from the throngs of day trippers, cannot do better than walk up Brant Fell and, in solitude, enjoy its fine prospect of Windermere or a simple scramble on its inviting summit rocks.’ – AW
