Brae Fell

The fell's name has Scottish overtones and translates from the Scots language as a hillside or slope.

Its northern flanks face the Scottish Borders country across the Eden Valley and Solway Firth.

With a height of less than 2000 feet and prominence of around 16 metres it fails to be a fell of real importance.

A direct ascent of the fell is usually undertaken from the minor road that skirts the northern slopes, there is no fence so the climb can start anywhere along its length.

The top of the fell is strewn with a few boulders and there is a fair sized cairn which is a landmark for several kilometres around.
