Summit and View
The summit of Hart Side bears some rock and a number of small cairns have been built. A few yards to the south is a large trench which is believed to be a trial working for the Greenside Mine, presumably unsuccessful. The view is not extensive, being curtailed to the west by the main Helvellyn Range. Ullswater is also seen better from lower down the ridge.

Famous quotes containing the words summit and/or view:
“What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
That beetles o’er his base into the sea,
And there assume some other horrible form
Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason,
And draw you into madness?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Don’t get involved in partial problems, but always take flight to where there is a free view over the whole single great problem, even if this view is still not a clear one.”
