Known as one of Alfred Wainwright’s Outlying Fells, School Knott stands at only 230 meters in elevation, offers breathtaking views towards Lake Windermere and is surrounded by relatively peaceful, lowland countryside. Starting from outside the Watermill Inn at Ings and walking a short distance along a very quiet lane, we pick up footpaths and the Dales Way which meanders through rolling countryside and on towards Hag End. From here we pass beneath Grandsire fell before arriving at the base of School Knott where we will take the short climb and rest for lunch (weather permitting) to enjoy the spectacular views. We then make our short descent down to join footpaths which will take us through School Knott Plantation and towards Whasdike before arriving back at the pub where we can stop afterwards to enjoy a well earned drink. Please feel free to bring lunch and a warm drink with you.
