Hiking

Starling Dodd is a 2,087-foot (636 m) mountain in the western Lake District. This fell can be hiked either from Ennerdale or Loweswater. It's often paired with Great Borne. Views are extensive across the western and north western fells on a good day. There are two cairns to mark the summit. One from rocks and the other from old iron fence posts.

Did this one after Great Borne. Nice little climb and great views.

Summit is slightly off the path. Worth knowing in the mist
