Earthwatcher's photos with the keyword: Bowfell

A view of the compact rocky dome of Side Pike (1187 ft) taken from the western end of Lingmoor Fell; Bowfell on the distant skyline and the Langdale Pikes on the right. Lingmoor Fell separates the valleys of Great and Little Langdale, and although of only modest height (1530 ft), it has great charm everywhere and lovely views of higher fells all around.

A colourful place with lovely views. Highly recommended!

More cloudscapes and sunlit fields again, this time at Brotherikeld ('Booterilket') farm in Eskdale. The farm and lands date back to at least the 13th century. En route to Harter Fell, this view is looking back down the path from the Jubilee Bridge, hidden in the trees. Bowfell is a shapely pyramid from this side, visible in the centre distance. The Scafells are hidden in cloud to the left.

A day on the Langdale Pikes - Photo 7 The graceful cone and dome of Pike o' Stickle (2323 ft) overlooks the valley of Mickleden far below with the high fells heading towards the Scafell group in the distance. Scafell Pike itself, nearly free of cloud, just peeks through to the left of Esk Pike (see notes). Taken in very windy conditions from the summit of Loft Crag.

A blusterous, showery afternoon at Three Tarns (well, one of them) in the hause between Bowfell and Crinkle Crags, looking towards the Scafells. Bowfell Links on the right. See where this picture was taken. [?]

Originally posted for the Guess Where UK group. I think this fine high-level path is the best walker's route to the summit of Bowfell is along the Climbers' Traverse and then up the Great Slab. Much more satisfying than the loose stony slog up from Three Tarns.

The Great Slab (or Flat Crags) consists almost entirely of a single, tilted bedding plane of water-lain tuff (volcanic 'ash'). Although the main footpath to the top of Bowfell passes close to the Great Slab, many walkers pass by with their noses set on the summit cairn and remain completely unaware of the existence of this amazing feature.
