Lying about 3 miles north of Kendal, the fell is made up of four separate peaks ranging in height from 332m. to 427m. It is composed of sedimentary Silurian rocks and shales, has a rugged appearance with little tree cover and its heather, grass and bracken slopes harbour an abundance of wildlife. If you are lucky you may spot an adder or on the tarns an Oyster Catcher or even a predatory Cormorant visiting from one of the several colonies in Cumbria. The tarns themselves are numerous, the largest being Gurnal Dubs, (or Fothergill Tarn after the man who dammed the dub), and Potter Tarn.
