Hiking

Angletarn Pikes is 1,860 feet (567 m) in height and is one of the Wainwright fells of the Far Eastern Lake District. It's situated just to the north-west of Angle Tarn. It has two main tops, the north top and the south top and it's the north top that is the Wainwright summit. I particularly like the view to Brothers Water from this summit.

Hiking

Angletarn Pikes has two peaks, the north and south, which are separated by a small boggy depression. The shark-finned rocky north top is the highest and the actual Wainwright, but the south provides the best views over Angle Tarn. The latter being one of the most famous and scenic tarns in the Lake District.
