The summit features a modest cairn and a protruding stone that provides a perfect seat for a well-deserved break. You'd have to sit on your boulder to take in the views, but it’s worth it!
Primarily composed of Skiddaw group slate, Blake Fell features a mix of steep slopes and gentle hills, along with some glacial deposits that hint at its ancient past. You'll find rocks that make great friends for skimming across the lakes, should you have the urge!
Distant views of the Scafell massif, the Howgill Fells, and the Solway Firth make for a picturesque panorama. On a clear day, you may spot the Isle of Man just peeking out over the horizon.
Blake is often thought to derive from 'blaca', meaning 'black', which could reflect the colour of the slate.
Blake Fell is part of the historic Western Lake District, and the local area has rich cultural heritage, including tales of ancient farmers who sculpted the landscape.
