A short but challenging climb from Haweswater to the summit of High Street, returning down the direct ridge over Rough Crag to the reservoir.
The climb to Mardale Ill Bell takes you past a beautiful tarn and then becomes quite strenuous. Thereafter there's a more gentle climb to High Street, then a descent down a rocky ridge, with great views of Haweswater, Blea Tarn and beyond, the Eden Valley.
The rocky crags on your left on the way up are the home for a single Golden Eagle, which you might be lucky enough to see. There was a pair but after the death of the female the remaining bird has failed to find a new mate. We live in hope...
