High Rigg

High Rigg is a small fell located in the English Lake District, approximately three miles southeast of the town of Keswick.

It occupies an unusual position, surrounded on all sides by higher fells but not connected by any obvious ridge.

The northern and southern aspects of the fell are largely grassed and gently rolling, in contrast to the western and eastern flanks which are steep with numerous rocky outcroppings and cliffs.

Thirlmere is visible to the south and Bleaberry Fell to the west, over which the Scafell group can be seen on a clear day.

Alternatively, a traverse of the fell's three-mile (5 km) long ridge may be made, starting at Tewit Tarn and finishing near Shoulthwaite.
