Nestled between the renowned Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks lies a hidden gem of Cumbria, England - the Howgill Fells. Often overshadowed by its more famous neighbours, the Howgills offer a retreat for outdoor enthusiasts seeking tranquillity amidst breath-taking landscapes.
Characterized by their gentle, grassy slopes and rounded contours, the Howgill Fells present an inviting terrain for walkers and hikers of all abilities. One can't help but be captivated by the stunning views that unfold across the countryside from vantage points scattered throughout the fells.
At the heart of the Howgills stands The Calf, the highest point in this range, reaching an elevation of 676 meters (2,218 feet) above sea level. Its summit rewards those who make the ascent with panoramic vistas that stretch as far as the eye can see.
One of the charms of exploring the Howgills is the abundance of paths and trails that crisscross the fells, offering a variety of routes for exploration. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a leisurely stroller, there's something for everyone to discover amidst these rolling hills.
For those with mobility challenges, the Howgills are made more accessible thanks to the wheelchair hub at Tebay. Here, visitors can borrow a Tramper, a 4x4 all-terrain wheelchair that makes exploring the fells a possibility for all. With its handlebar controls and ease of use, the Tramper opens up a world of adventure for everyone to enjoy.

Whether you're seeking solitude, stunning views, or simply a breath of fresh air, you're sure to find it here amidst the tranquil beauty of this hidden gem.
