Burnbank Fell

It is predominantly grassy, with sprawling flanks and a broad ridge connecting it to Blake Fell.

The Western Fells occupy a triangular sector of the Lake District, bordered by the River Cocker to the northeast and Wasdale to the southeast.

[2] The northeastern flanks of Burnbank Fell are much steeper, with some crags on the upper slopes overlooking Loweswater.

All drainage from Owsen Fell and the western slopes flows to the River Marron and ultimately the Derwent.

[5] The Ordnance Survey Explorer map series shows abandoned mine levels above Wisenholme Beck and some surface extraction near the summit.

[1] The top of Burnbank Fell is a rounded grassy dome, the summit marked by an old fence post and small cairn.

From Waterend at the head of Loweswater, the route starts via Hudson Place farm and passes into Holme Wood; various paths can then be taken to the summit.
