At the Summit
The summit features a small stone cairn and an unobtrusive metal post marking the height, providing a great photo opportunity (just remember not to selfie it out of focus!).
Terrain & Geology
The hill is predominantly composed of sedimentary rock, specifically mudstone, which gives rise to its distinctive grassy slopes, interrupted by patches of heather and gorse.
Views & Scenery
The summit provides panoramic views of the nearby Helvellyn range and Ullswater, while on clear days, the distant Scottish hills are a treat for the eyes.
History & Heritage
Name Origin
The name may derive from 'Andrew's' with 'hinney' potentially linked to old dialects meaning 'hill'.
Historical Significance
Although a small hill, Andrewhinney has often been overlooked in favour of its taller neighbours, giving you a chance to escape the crowds!
