David Howells
April 15, 2026, Thack Moor Summit Trig Point

Thack Moor, at 610 metres high, is an often overlooked fell. It offers an easy hike to the summit from Renwick, and being on the western flanks of the North Pennines, it has expansive views out over the 'flatlands' of Carlisle from its trig-pointed summit. The trail is a mixture of tracks and heather but is less of a bog fest than the nearby fells.

Cold Fell, at 621 m (2,037 ft), is a rather remote and boggy mountain top just south of Tindale Tarn. It makes for a good hiking outing from Hallbankgate, taking in the Brunwath Viewpoint. Being a UK designated Nuttall and Marilyn, it is a popular hiking point offering expansive views over Cumbria and the Lake District.
