About Fiendsdale
The walk up Fiendsdale is a proper fell ramble that demands respect - it's not a stroll you knock out in twenty minutes. Starting from the Preston side, you're climbing moorland with views that stretch across Lancashire's bleaker terrain, all gritstone and heather when it's in flower. The summit itself is modest by Lake District standards, but that's rather the point. You get genuine solitude up here, and the landscape feels uncompromised by crowds.
Walkers will find it rewarding. The terrain is rough in places and weather can turn quickly, so you need decent boots and a map - don't rely on your phone for navigation. Allow three to four hours for a straightforward ascent and descent. The ascent is steep in sections, which means families with young children should reconsider unless they're hardened hikers. Older kids who enjoy proper walking will get something real from this.
Fiendsdale works well as part of a wider walking weekend from either Brickhouse or Claylands caravan parks, both within easy driving distance of Preston. It's the sort of fell that rewards being done on a clear day - a misty afternoon and you're just trudging through fog with nothing to show for your effort. Time your visit for when the weather forecast looks settled.
Free to visit, no facilities at the summit, so bring water and something to eat. The isolation is precisely why people come here.
