Red Pike (Buttermere)

Red Pike cannot be seen from the village of Buttermere as it hides behind Dodd. It is so named because of the ruddy red screes on its north east side which contain the mineral syenite.

Why not try walking up this hill using one of our walks:

• Bleaberry Tarn, Red Pike, and Dodd
• The Buttermere Edge

... or, if you've walked it already, why not log on or register and record your walk?
