Lake District

Access in this park

Designation as a park creates no right of access in itself — the law of England applies inside the boundary, and park byelaws, seasonal restrictions and closures can override the general position. This is general information, not legal advice. Full detail:access rights in England ·check a specific grid reference.

All 395 listed hills, tallest first

Every summit from our hill dataset whose summit point falls inside the park boundary. Follow a name for its full record, live summit weather and daylight times.

Hill data from the Database of British & Irish Hills v18.3 (CC BY 4.0); park boundaries from the Office for National Statistics (OGL v3.0). Hills are assigned to a park by summit position, so a top just outside the boundary will not appear here even if the walk starts inside it.
