Knott Summit Cairn

Highlight • Viewpoint

At 2,329 feet (710m), Knott is the highest fell in the Back O'Skiddaw area. From here, you can link really easily onto Great Calva, Great Sca Fell and Great Lingy Hut. The grassy terrain makes for easy walking, and in good weather you can easily avoid the boggy bits.

Great Calva

Highlight • Natural Monument

Great Calva rises in isolation in the wild heart of the Lakeland's quiet Northern Fells. Its 2,260 feet (690 m) high perch gives it magnificent views down the defile between the Skiddaw and Blencathra massifs all the way along Thirlmere to Grasmere. There are few spots better positioned to think on the massive role glaciation played in the formation of the Lake District landscape.

At the southern foot of the fell is Skiddaw House, a unique hostel around the 'Back o'Skiddaw'. It is said to be the most remote lodging in England, 3.5 miles (5.6 km) from the nearest road.
