High Spy is a fell in the English Lake District it is situated on the ridge that separates the Newlands Valley from Borrowdale, eight kilometres (five miles) south of Keswick.
The fell reaches a height of 653 metres (2,142 feet) and is defended by crags to the east and west as it falls away steeply to the valleys.
From this side it is also possible to start from Grange and use an old drove road to get through the barrier of Blea Crag and then approach the summit.
A scrambling route also starts from Grange, going via Hollows Farm it tackles the rocky rake of Nitting Haws directly.
[3] From Little Town in the Newlands valley an old mine road zig zags up to the col between the fell and Dale Head to then reach the top by the south ridge.
