Did You Know?

  • Don't let the 'Heights' in its name fool you into expecting a Himalayan expedition! At just 205 metres, it's one of the lower fells in the district, making it a very accessible climb for almost any walker.
  • You'll find this little peak tucked away in the Far Eastern Fells, a region known for its rolling landscapes and quieter paths. It's a great example of the gentle beauty this corner of the Lake District has to offer.
  • Its proximity to Newby Bridge at the southern end of Windermere places it in a really handy spot. It's an easy-to-reach fell if you're staying in the area and fancy a quick leg-stretcher without a long drive.
  • Grassgarth Heights isn't a Wainwright, a Birkett, or on any other major fell-bagging list. This lack of 'official' status is its secret weapon, ensuring its slopes remain peaceful and uncrowded.
  • Standing at 673 feet, it's shorter than some of the country's tallest skyscrapers. It just goes to show you don't need dizzying heights to enjoy a bit of fresh Cumbrian air and a sense of escape.
