High Hartsop Dodd

About High Hartsop Dodd

High Hartsop Dodd sits on the edge of the Fairfield group in the Eastern Fells, an outlier rather than part of the main mass. It rises above Kirkstone Pass, on the road linking Ullswater with Ambleside, which makes it a familiar shape to anyone driving that route through the eastern Lake District.

Which hill this one belongs to

High Hartsop Dodd is not counted as an independent hill in its own right. In prominence terms it belongs to Fairfield (873 m) — the nearest Marilyn you can reach from this summit without first dropping below its key col, 516 m.

Grouping is by prominence alone: a summit belongs to the nearest higher Marilyn it connects to without a deeper intervening col. Over a large massif that can gather hills no one would walk in a single day, and which few would describe as parts of the same mountain — it is a measure of independence, not a suggested route.
