Helvellyn in the Lake District

Welcome to the EDGE Guide to Helvellyn in the Lake District.

Helvellyn

Location: NY342151 Sheet: 90.
Height: 3116ft/950m.

Great views from the top of this famous fell, one of the highest in the Lake District.

Nearby is Striding Edge, also very popular with walkers and within the scope of most fit walkers - and very exhilarating but can be dangerous.
