Flat Fell is our local walk and Muttley & Coco Pops love it! From parking in the car park adjacent to the fell, the path follows a stream and opens out to a field that is full of reads. A quick 5 minute stroll brings you to the choice, clockwise, anti-clockwise or straight up! We often pick anti-clockwise as the pupsters love it! A clear path with plenty of little streams and drinking opportunities and in the summer an excellent play ground that is full of ferns. The path follows the side of the fell and dips down in the middle of the valley with Dent Fell off to the right. As we approach the end of the path and turn left to come around the back of the fell, we join the Coast To Coast path.
Following the path, we track a steam and it opens up into a small valley that is tranquil and picturesque. Easy to follow and a gentle rise leads us around the back of Flat Fell and to another fork. Off to the right is the continued Coast To Coast path heading towards Ennerdale, while we head left for a gentle climb on our circular route. Once a little way around it is simple to just head straight up to the summit of Flat Fell and take in the views to the west coast of Cumbria. It is quite an easy walk, open and from the top it is a clear view towards the starting car park, resulting in a gentle stroll back down.
