Walk Overview

This extremely short walk can be extended by starting from the centre of Caldbeck
but in my honest opinion. its not really worth it when in actuality the fell top lies
about a quarter of a mile from the Reservoir road. The views at the top could have been
a lot better had they not been "clagged" in, and that is about all I can say of this
truly uninspiring Outlier

We parked at the Reservoir to undertake this 10 minute stroll

From the Reservoir building you can actually see the summit cairn of Faulds Brow

Starting out on the trail


Its just a case of following one of the many grassy trods that lead to the summit
