About See Morris Hill

Rising above the Solway coastline, this diminutive but prominent Marilyn offers surprisingly expansive views toward the Lake District. Located in the shadow of Criffel, its rough grass slopes and quiet character make it a peaceful alternative to its more popular neighbor for those seeking solitude in the Southern Uplands.

Did You Know?

  • •The hill is classified as a Marilyn because it possesses over 150 metres of topographic prominence, a significant drop for a summit of this modest height.
  • •The summit provides an excellent perspective on the granite mass of Criffel to the west, which serves as the primary landmark for this corner of the Southern Uplands.
  • •On a clear day, the views south across the Solway Firth are exceptional, with the Lakeland fells of Skiddaw and Blencathra clearly visible on the English horizon.
  • •For a hill that sounds like a polite instruction to go and find a specific person, it remains remarkably successful at staying hidden from the crowds.
