Tips

Hiking

Rampsgill Head is a 2,598-foot (792 m) Wainwright in the Far Eastern Fells of the Lake District. For the peak bagger, it's a Nuttall, a Wainwright, a Birkett and a Hewitt! It's commonly hiked with it's neighbours Kidsty Pike, The Knott and High Raise, which are all very close by. My favourite view from here is down towards The Nab.

Running

Rampsgill Head at 2,598 feet (792 m) stands high above the Rampsgill Beck, which flows down the valley to the north. It's on the excellent High Street ridge running route and also often climbed as a loop from Hartsop.
