Meathop Fell is primarily composed of the dominant sedimentary rocks of the Lake District, with varying layers of mudstones and sandstones. The scenic landscape also showcases glacial features from the last Ice Age.
Spectacular views of the surrounding hills, including the distant peaks of the Coniston Range and the serene waters of Morecambe Bay.
The name Meathop is believed to be derived from the Old English 'maetha' (a river) and 'hop' (a small valley), giving you some poetic imagery to think on while you hike.
Meathop Fell serves as a serene escape from the bustling nearby towns, embodying the tranquillity and natural beauty of the Lake District.
A scenic loop that offers both gentle inclines and breathtaking views, suitable for families and casual walkers.
There is a small parking area at the Meathop village hall, which can accommodate several vehicles. Arrive early to snag a spot, especially on weekends.
The nearest railway station is Grange-over-Sands, approximately 4 km away. Local buses connect Grange to nearby villages.
Cafes and local shops can be found in Grange-over-Sands, along with public toilets. Perfect for a warm drink post-walk!
