Longlands Fell

About Longlands Fell

Longlands Fell is a small fell among the Uldale Fells in the northern Lake District, about 5.5 km south-west of Caldbeck. Along with Binsey it is the most northerly fell in the district, so the ground beyond it falls away towards the Solway plain rather than rising into more high fells.

Finding the summit

The recorded summit point is cairn. That distinction matters on broad or flat tops, where the obvious cairn is not always the true high point.

Which hill this one belongs to

Longlands Fell is not counted as an independent hill in its own right. In prominence terms it belongs to Knott (710 m) — the nearest Marilyn you can reach from this summit without first dropping below its key col, 446 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.
