2,159Ft
located 4.5 kilometres south of Caldbeck it is the most northerly of the Lakeland fells over 2000 feet. Simply leave our glamping barns and follow the Cumbrian Way up to High Pike. Allow 3 hours from start to finish!

The fell's name means "Rock Fell", from the Cumbric carrec, meaning a rock, and Old Norse fjall, meaning a fell. Can be taken in by extending your walk from High Pike! Maps are provided in each barn.
"The Arch".....
Whilst on Carrock Fell make sure you visit "The Arch"
Probably one of the most Instagrammable or selfie installations in the Northern Fells!! Designed by a well known local photographer and new for 2021 #thearch
Longlands Fell
1,585Ft
Small fell that is situated in the high ground known as the Uldale Fells, 5.5 kilometres south west of the village of Caldbeck. One of our personal favourites as the views on a clear day are breathtaking!
Brae Fell
1,923Ft
A fell that is regarded as part of the Caldbeck Fells along with High Pike and Carrock Fell even though it has ridge links to the Uldale Fells. The fell's name has Scottish overtones and translates from the Scots language as a hillside or slope. Combine this walk including Longlands!
Binsey

It is the northernmost of the Wainwrights.
