Walk Details:
A walk to the prized low rocky summit of Brant Fell providing excellent views of Windermere and surrounding fells and countryside.
Leaving the car park we walk along residential streets and through Queens Park to the foot of School Knott plantation. Following a quiet lane we pass Droomer Cottage and High Lickbarrow and drop down to a path skirting the edge of Windermere Park. Brant Fell summit is reached via field paths and a short ascent up open grass hillside. We descend off the fell westwards towards Post Knott and onto Brantfell Road. Our return to Windermere is via Bowness town centre and Longlands Road / Beemire Lane providing a pleasant route away from the main road via quiet woodland.
