Highest point Elevation 375 m (1,230 ft) Listing Outlying Wainwright Geography Location Lake District, England OS grid SD 21202 92796 **Stickle Pike** is an outlying [fell](/source/Fell) located in the southern [Lake District](/source/Lake_District) near the small town of [Broughton-in-Furness](/source/Broughton-in-Furness), with the summit situated between the lower [Duddon Valley](/source/Duddon_Valley) and the quiet smaller valley of [Dunnerdale](/source/Dunnerdale). Despite its low altitude (375 m, or 1230 ft) the sharp, conical summit is prominent in views from the Broughton and high Furness areas. As with many of the Dunnerdale and [Coniston](/source/Furness_Fells) fells, there are reminders of the area's former [mining](/source/Mining) past in the form of many spoil heaps, disused levels and shafts. The fell is also notable for its wide-ranging views despite its low altitude, especially to the [Scafells](/source/Scafells) to the north and the sands of the [Duddon Estuary](/source/Duddon_Estuary) to the south. A "stickle" is a hill with a prominent rocky top. The fell is most easily (and commonly) ascended from the Kiln Bank fell road between Hall Dunnerdale and Broughton Mills, with the top lying less than half a mile from the road summit. An alternative ascent (suggested by [Alfred Wainwright](/source/Alfred_Wainwright)) can be made from [Broughton Mills](/source/Broughton_Mills) along the [Great Stickle](/source/Great_Stickle)/Tarn Hill ridge, with a return either down the Dunnerdale valley road or via the bridleway on the east side of the valley. The fell is the subject of a chapter of [Wainwright's](/source/Alfred_Wainwright) book *[The Outlying Fells of Lakeland](/source/The_Outlying_Fells_of_Lakeland)*.[1][2] His clockwise circuit from Broughton Mills includes [Great Stickle](/source/Great_Stickle) at 1,001 feet (305 m), **Tarn Hill** at 1,231 feet (375 m), Stickle Pike, a "nameless summit" at 1,183 feet (361 m), north of **Raven's Crag** which is bypassed, and **The Knott** at 925 feet (282 m). This last shares its name with [The Knott](/source/The_Knott) above [Hayeswater](/source/Hayeswater) in the far eastern fells and another outlying fell near [Stainton Pike](/source/Stainton_Pike), as well as with [Knott](/source/Knott%2C_Caldbeck) north of Skiddaw. ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** [Wainwright, A.](/source/Alfred_Wainwright) (1974).
