Facility information
Regarded as the central hub of the Lake District, High Raise – while largely unremarkable in itself – does indeed hold a commanding view over the Lake District, with the vista incorporating Skiddaw and Blencathra, the little-seen backside view over the Langdale Pikes, Bowfell, the Scafells and east to the Helvellyn range. Visit its summit as a relative stranger to the Lakes, and you can feel you’ve truly been in the nucleus of the National Park.
Best route: can be swallowed in a fine circuit up Easedale from Grasmere (NY280095).
