    Hiking

    After the steep ascent up from Hawes End, many first time visitors to Catbells initially mistake Skelgill Bank to be the main summit. However, upon reaching the crest, they are met with the site of Catbells' domed apex rising higher still ahead. It's a wonderful and exciting sight. No wonder Catbells is often referred to as a 'mountain in miniature'.

    Hiking

    On the walk up Catbells this hill is the start of it. It's a great family fell for all ages and includes small scrambles to get you to try it out
