Hiking

The most northern of Wainwright's North Western Fells, Sale Fell is quiet and peaceful with fantastic views. As there are lots of different paths to explore too, it's definitely a place to put on your list.

Hiking

This is one of my favourite north-western fells. I love the views from Sale Fell (359m), particularly those towards the Skiddaw range. The trails leading to the summit of Sale Fell are mainly grassy. It's a popular fell for fell runners and dog walkers.
