Blawith Knott

Rising above the quiet hamlet of Woodland, this modest Southern Fell offers a rugged, heather-clad character that belies its low elevation. Often paired with Tottlebank Height, its summit provides a panoramic vista stretching from the high Coniston fells to the sands of Morecambe Bay and the distant Pennines.

• •The name is rooted in Old Norse, where 'Blawith' translates to 'dark wood' and 'Knott' describes the rocky, hill-like outcrop that forms the summit.
• •Alfred Wainwright featured the hill in his Outlying Fells of Lakeland, describing it as a "magnificent viewpoint" and suggesting a circular route that links it with the nearby Tottlebank Height.
• •The summit provides an exceptional vantage point for spotting the Yorkshire Three Peaks; on clear days, the distinctive flat-topped silhouettes of Ingleborough and Whernside are clearly visible across the eastern horizon.
• •At 248 metres, it is technically classified as a Tump, proving that a hill doesn't need to be a mountain to offer a view that makes the larger peaks to the north look slightly overcrowded.
