Lake District, Catbells & High Spy

Catbells & High Spy

5 hours.

After a tough day yesterday I opted for an easy ramble up Catbells and finished up on High Spy looking on towards Dale Head.


Parking is difficult but can be found on the roadside that skirts Catbells although you need to get there early.


A short walk from the car and we're off.
