The summit of Cockup features a stone cairn and expansive views of the surrounding fells, providing a perfect spot for a well-earned breather (and a cheeky snack!).
Cockup is primarily composed of volcanic rock from the Borrowdale Volcanic Group, contributing to its rugged terrain and distinct topography.
From the summit, hikers can enjoy panoramic views of the northern fells of the Lake District, including Skiddaw and Blencathra.
The name 'Cockup' has speculative origins, possibly deriving from an Old Norse word meaning 'hill' or 'mound'.
While the hill may not boast tales of historical intrigue, it's a beloved spot for locals and hikers seeking a quieter fell experience.
