OS Map of Bowscale Fell
Height: 702m / 2303ft • Prominence: 87m / 285ft • Summit : stone shelter • Trip reports (hill-bagging)
High Pike from the path to Bowscale Tarn. Carrock Fell opposite.
Shows the topography of the Northern Fells, smooth rounded slopes with the occasional craggy bit. A lot kinder on old hips and knees than the central fells and has the advantage of solitude still.

The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.

Sunny synging in July. Parked on grass in Mungrisdale. Then footpath damaged by floods so river crossing required to ascend via The Tongue, then Bowscale Fell, then detour to Tarn Crags Top and Bowscale Fell Far East Top before returning to Bowscale Fell. Continue on to Bannerdale Crags. Then down White Horse Bent before obvious route to Souther Fell South Top and finally Souther Fell before return to Mungrisdale via the Mill Inn.

Bowscale Tarn.
A popular destination for Victorian visitors they would arrive on the back of a pony to be regaled with tales of two immortal fish that had lived in the tarn for... errr ...ever. According to Mr. W. Wordsworth one could speak. I have included a single figure on the path for scale, he is not immortal although he has been known to speak.
