Whinlatter

Overview

Height:	1,722 Feet - 525 Metres
Grid Ref:	NY 197 249
Area:	North Western
Ordnance Survey:	OL4
Wainwright Guidebook:	Six
	Whinlatter the Pass, an excellent motor road, is known to many; Whinlatter the Fell, a lonely sheep pasture, is known to few. The abrupt heathery slopes, streaked with long tongues, form a effective northern wall to the pass, and there is little in this rough and forbidding declivity to suggest pleasant heights above, where an undulating plateau trends downwards to the quite valley of Aiken Beck.
