Wetherlam

Overlooking Coppermines Valley to the south, and Wrynose pass to the north, it is the most northern of the Coniston Fells. A small cairn perched on rocks marks the summit.

Wetherlam appears in Arthur Ransome's book Swallowdale renamed as "Grey Screes".

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

• The Old Man of Coniston, Brim Fell, Swirl How, Wetherlam
• Steel Edge and Wetherlam Edge, from Tilberthwaite
• Wetherlam, via Lad Stones ridge and Black Sails

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