Summit and View
The top of the fell is strewn with a few boulders and there is a fair sized cairn which is a landmark for several kilometres around. The view from the summit is one of the finest in the Northern Fells, with the panorama north taking in the Solway Firth, Scottish Borders and the northern Pennines.

Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
That beetles o’er his base into the sea,

Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason,
And draw you into madness?”
