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.
