Culter Fell

It is the culmination of a network of ridges that lie south of the village of Coulter, close to the town of Biggar.

It is tempting to walk up the track leading up the Kings Beck, but the direct route up the north west ridge is much easier.

The slope is smooth and dry, the vegetation is short, and although there is no constructed footpath, helpful steps have been cut by the boots of previous climbers.

There is extensive sheep farming and sporting activity in the area, so care should be taken when accessing Culter Fell in the spring or late summer.

From the summit, the view on a clear day stretches from the Cumbrian Lake District to the Scottish Highlands.
