Big walk right outside the door - you will need the right gear and should know how to use a map and compass!

Beautiful mountain to climb with fabulous views when you get to the top (on a good day!)

Stand on top of Skiddaw and take in that breathtaking view. Its a challenge and a long day walking up but so worth it

Skiddaw can be accessed by foot from South View. It is the 4th highest peak in England so is not for the faint hearted. It weill take you most of the day to complete of you take in Ullock Pike and the surrounding lesser fells.

Skiddaw may also be a "must-do" for any fell walkers in the Northern Lake District. There are several routes to the top, perhaps the most popular is from Dodd Wood on the Carlisle to Keswick road close to Bassenthwaite Lake
