Hiking

Whin Ben is a heather clad fell in the Lake District National Park. It's often hiked en-route to Whiteside. It's a short steep climb from the road beside Crummock Water. The top is a great place for a breather and to enjoy the views.

Hiking

A little lump before the long grind to the top of Whiteside. A nice little rocky climb though with great views.
