About Robinson
Robinson occupies the ground between two contrasting valleys: its southern slopes fall towards Buttermere, while the northern side belongs to the Newlands Valley.
Paths converge on the top from Buttermere village, from neighbouring Dale Head, and from several points in the valleys to the north. At 737.6 m the fell is a Wainwright, Hewitt and Nuttall, among other listings, and lies in the Cumberland part of the Lake District National Park.
