Overlooking Hawkshead and Windermere is Latterbarrow. Someone we met at the Sun Inn in Hawkshead over a pint of Swan Blond recommended this hike. We were based about 20 minutes from there and took the footpaths which are mostly helpful, except when there aren't any! Took the route that included a steep scramble to get to the top, before finding a more gentle way to descend. Worth it though, great views, good cardio workout, and then back to the pub for a well earned beer.

Lovely gentle walk (Approaching from High Wray) leading to fantastic panoramic views over Oldgate, Hawkshead, Windermere and numerous fells beyond. The substantial Cairn at the top marks the highest point before a steep descent back down. Easy to walk as a round route, or to incorporate as part of something longer

A very quick up and down easy hill but with great views of Windermere to one side and over to the Coniston range the other. Interesting huge cairn at the top as well with very old graffiti from centuries ago scratched on the rocks, look out for it it there.

The way we walked was extremely short, only about 20 minutes to reach the trig point from where Google maps directed us to the start. Great walk and the views from the top were fantastic. Always expected from a walk in the lakes!

Stunning views, bit of a climb if you go the short steep way, there are gentler approaches. Great views north to ambelside, bowness to the east, langdale pike to the NW and the sea to the SW

You feel in the center of things here on top of latterbarrow, I'm surprised the ancients didn't build a stone circle here and left it to the Victorians to build the big cairn.
