Route Description for Knott Rigg Walk
Walking the Knott Rigg Trail is a quick, but wonderfully scenic route that can be enjoyed by all Lake District adventurers regardless of skill level. The out-and-back trail sets out from the car park and immediately begins to climb the gentle slope of the hillside to the northeast. Reaching the summit of Knott Rigg, you will have sweeping views of countless rugged fells in every direction and some partial views of Crummock Water to the west. After taking in the sights, retrace your steps down the hillside to return to the car park.
