Tips from the Community

Willem VS
July 14, 2025, Binsey Summit

Binsey is a freestanding hill in the northern Lake District, north of Bassenthwaite Lake. At 447 meters high, it's one of the smaller fells, but the views from the summit are surprisingly impressive. On a clear day, you can see not only the western Lakeland fells, but also the Solway Firth, Dumfries & Galloway, and even the Isle of Man. If you stay on the road, you'll remain at 260 meters.

Not a lot of spaces. When I arrived on a Sunday at about 1pm. There was luckily a space.

There’s certainly something off with the size of this sign in relation to the size of the animal it is warning you of. Also never seen cows in this part of the common.
