    Hiking

    High Pike, the Ambleside one, at 656 metres, is a popular Wainwright summit normally accessed by going up the classic Fairfield route from Ambleside. This is a steep ridge walk that also takes in Low Pike. The views back along the ridge with the stone wall steering itself along the ridgeline with Windermere in the background are super-beautiful. The summit is marked by a stone cairn.
