Hill in Cumbria, England

Cairn on Hugill Fell

**Hugill Fell** is a hill in the English [Lake District](/source/Lake_District), near [Staveley](/source/Staveley%2C_Cumbria), [Cumbria](/source/Cumbria), on the western side of the [Kentmere](/source/Kentmere) valley.

The [Database of British and Irish Hills](/source/Database_of_British_and_Irish_Hills) identifies two summits: "Hugill Fell" with a height of 896 feet (273 m), classified as a [TuMP](/source/TuMP),[1] and "Hugill Fell (Wainwright Summit)" at 869 feet (265 m).[2] Wainwright's summit is also known as **Black Crag**.[3]

It is the subject of a chapter of [Wainwright's](/source/Alfred_Wainwright) book *[The Outlying Fells of Lakeland](/source/The_Outlying_Fells_of_Lakeland)*. Wainwright's walk is an ascent from Staveley and return on the same route. He states that there is a cairn on the summit.[4]

Wainwright, writing in 1974, says that there is no access from Hugill Fell to the nearby summits of [Reston Scar](/source/Reston_Scar) and [High Knott](/source/High_Knott) because of "high and collapsable drystone walls", adding "Finding a legitimate way amongst the network of walls is like trying to solve a bent-nail puzzle, except that in this case there is positively no solution",[4] but [Chris Jesty](/source/Chris_Jesty) in the 2011 second edition of Wainwright's book, says: "Can a traverse be made to the nearby summit of Reston Scar? These days the answer is YES: gates have been provided in the high drystone walls and a clear path links the two summits." He recommends a circular walk ascending to Hugill Fell and descending from Reston Scar.[5]
