Why it's Wildland

5.5

A wooded hill above the Lancashire plain, with summit views, a small tarn and paths through a varied country-park landscape.

Beacon Fell brings woodland, moorland, a tarn and far-reaching views together on one modest hill. Its walking paths and summit features make it a good place to explore rather than simply admire from a distance.
