The Nab Summit Cairn
Hiking
5.0
(33)
The fell is effectively the abrupt termination of a ridge protruding north from the higher Rest Dodd. The ground between the two represents one of the most extensive peat hags in the region. You’ll either think it’s great fun to jump and bound along or consider it a right, boggy pain. If it’s wet, this is awkward territory. Walking routes to The Nab are possible all year round if you pack the appropriate layers.
Martindale is exquisitely lovely and said to be the home of the oldest native red deer herd in England. Howtown to the north has a hotel and there are plenty of campsites on Ullswater’s famously picturesque shores.
