Walk
This is a fairly straightforward excursion into the Howgills including its most dramatic locations combined with a visit to the Calf, which is the highest point in these rounded hills. It does have two sections over open fellside with no clear paths so you do need to be competent at route finding. This is especially true if the visibility is poor as the Howgills are notorious for their complicated ridges and valleys.

History Of Fell End
Fell End Bunkhouse consists of two 18th Century buildings ; School House & Greenslack. In the 1940’s these served the
valley as the primary school & teachers residence.
They have now been upgraded to provide comfortable Bunkhouse accommodation for people who wish to explore this beautiful remote area overlooking the Howgill Fells.
The history of Greenslack is not known in detail but the cottage is typical of local late 18th Century buildings.
Over the years Greenslack was lived in by farm workers, a
roadman, & was home to at least two school mistresses of Fell End School.
