The summit boasts a classic stone cairn, which has become a favourite spot for hikers to gather their thoughts (and snacks). On a clear day, the panoramic views can take your breath away—hopefully not literally!
Green Bell is primarily composed of volcanic rock, giving it a rugged terrain. The surrounding area features a mix of sedimentary deposits that provide a fascinating insight into the earth's geological history.
From the summit, you can see the stunning expanse of the Lake District including views of Helvellyn and the central fells, as well as the distant peaks of Scotland on a clear day.
The name 'Green Bell' likely refers to the lush foliage that adorns its slopes, and ‘Bell’ may derive from the old Norse word for mountain.
Green Bell is a notable feature of the Lake District, often overlooked due to the popularity of neighbouring peaks, yet it holds its own charm and rugged beauty.
This route starts at the minor road leading to Bink Moss and follows a well-trodden path through lush farmland before ascending towards the summit.
A scenic alternative which begins at Swindale, meandering through picturesque valleys and ending with a challenging ascent to the peak.
There is a small layby on the minor road to the south of Bink Moss, which can accommodate a few cars. Be sure to tuck in neatly to avoid blocking traffic.
The nearest bus service is an hourly service from Penrith to Bampton. From there, it's a short walk to the start of the Bink Moss route.
While there are no facilities at the summit, Bampton has a delightful tearoom and toilet services, perfect for a pre-hike pit stop.
