Skiddaw
Keswick, Cumbria - England, UK
|
| Skiddaw is a member of that exclusive club of Lake District peaks that are higher than 3000 feet. Of those four, Skiddaw is arguably the easiest to climb; it towers over the popular tourist town of Keswick and a number of routes make the summit easily reachable within a couple of hours. The view from the top is spectacular and varied, from the Pennines to the east, Irish Sea and the Isle of Man to the west, Solway Firth to the north and the heart of the Lake District fells to the south. Given its nearness to Keswick, Skiddaw’s only fault is that it can sometimes get crowded. This is one to avoid on a bank holiday Monday. |
