Baugh Fell

The eastern limit of the fell is marked by Grisedale Beck, the main tributary of the Clough River which flows through Garsdale.

The highest point at Tarn Rigg Hill (678 m) is in enclosed ground (now with open access), but the trig point on Knoutberry Haw (grid reference SD731919) is only two metres lower and provides excellent views of the Three Peaks, the Howgill Fells, the Lake District and surrounding countryside as far as Blackpool Tower on a clear day.

Better views down Wensleydale and the Eden valley may be obtained from Grisedale Pike (SD756925), a slight projection on the eastern flank of Baugh Fell just over a mile from the summit.

The West Tarn, meanwhile, lies at the north-western end of the summit plateau at SD730937, and is difficult to find on the almost flat top because it nestles in a slight hollow, even though it can be seen from the trig point.

Baugh Fell does not share the popularity of the nearby Lake District or the Yorkshire Three Peaks, and even on bank holiday weekends it is mostly unfrequented.
