Walk Overview
High Rigg from St Johns in the Vale is an excellent small Fell to introduce someone
new to Fell walking and offers some fantastic views out towards Keswick
Heading North through St Johns in the Vale take a left at a signpost for the
Church and Diocesan Youth Centre. There is free parking for several cars
Passing St Johns Church
Carry on down the path and through the gate that leads to the open Fell side
immediately on the left
The path climbs gently past a bench and skirts the left hand side of the crags
The path runs through an area of bracken
Looking North towards Skiddaw
The well defined path is easy to follow
The bracken becomes thicker; however the path zig-zags its way towards the summit
mound which is approached from the left
