About Loughrigg Fell
Loughrigg Fell terminates the long ridge that descends from High Raise over Silver How towards Ambleside, and the dip of Red Bank cuts it off from those neighbours. That end-of-ridge position, in the central Lake District, gives it a character distinct from the higher ground behind it.
At just over 335 metres it carries a full set of listings: Wainwright, Marilyn, HuMP, Birkett, Synge and Fellranger.
