A short out-and-back walk up Binsey from the roadside near Binsey Lodge, on the southeastern side of the fell.
Follow the grassy uphill path to the summit, then return by the same route. Binsey reaches about 447 metres and has a trig point and nearby cairns. In clear weather there are views towards the northern Lake District fells and the Solway Firth.
The plotted route is approximately 2.4 km in total. Allow around 1 hour 30 minutes as an estimate, adjusting for your pace, stops and conditions. Grassy ground can be wet or muddy; exposed hill conditions, poor visibility and winter ice or snow can make the walk more demanding.
Roadside parking near Binsey Lodge is limited. Keep gateways and property access clear, and do not assume parking or facilities will be available. Check the forecast, take suitable footwear and clothing, and carry a map.
