Loweswater does not therefore represent any watershed between the fells on either side of its valley, as might be supposed from a quick glance at the map.

[1] The lowest col on the ridge occurs immediately south of Fellbarrow, and the intervening tops are therefore usually considered satellites of Low Fell.

The southern terminus of the ridge, looking down on Loweswater village, is rough on all sides, rising to a small neat top.

In general, the western slopes of the Low Fell ridge are long and gentle, while some rock appears along the steeper eastern and southern flanks.

Beneath this and occasionally outcropping on the eastern flanks are the laminated mudstone and siltstone of the Kirk Stile Formation.

An alternative start is from the Mosser road, climbing Darling Fell before joining the main ridge.

Low Fell and Raven Crag are now in the ownership of Buy Land Plant Trees CIC, a subsidiary of Chimney Sheep Ltd.

In 2020/21 a large portion of the Fell was acquired by Buy Land Plant Trees CIC to 'hand it back to nature'.

Planting of scrub (hawthorn, birch, blackthorn, rowan, etc) started in 2021/22 with the eventual aim of creating a mosaic landscape of scrub/trees and open areas of moorland and peat bog.

To further protect the regeneration of the site and ensure nature is the main beneficiary all access by fox hounds and hunters (including trail hunting) is prohibited.
