Threshthwaite Mouth Circular

Route: Threshwaite Mouth Circular

A strenuous fell top walk from Troutbeck Church, along the Troutbeck valley. A steep climb and a 4000 foot height gain means that you will need to be fit. The extensive views of the Troutbeck Valley towards Windermere and down towards Ullswater make the effort well worth while. You will climb 4 peaks along the way - Thornthwaite Crag, Froswick, Ill Bell and Yoke

Please note that these directions are for general guidance only - you should verify their accuracy against Ordnance Survey Map OL7 before beginning a walk!
