☰Hard Knott

Hard Knott offers magnificent views of the Scafells and can be combined in a splendid circuit from Brotherilkeld in Eskdale, first climbing Harter Fell and then crossing the road at the top of the Hard Knott pass. From there it is an easy climb to the summit. The descent over Border End leads to the impressive remains of a Roman fort on the slopes of the hill, one of the best-preserved Roman sites in the Lake District.
