Green Hill Fell and Ease Gill Horseshoe 

Since the 1974 county boundary changes, Green Hill Fell at 628m (2060ft) has had the distinction of being the highest point in Lancashire. The hill sits at the end of a salient of Lancashire that juts into North Yorkshire and Cumbria.  The highest point in the historic county of Lancashire was Coniston Old Man, which  is now in Cumbria.

Green Hill Fell is a lower subsidiary top of the higher hill of Great Coum, which is in Cumbria.  A large wall has been built along the broad grassy ridge, with Lancashire on one side and North Yorkshire on the other, and further along the ridge you cross into Cumbria.

This is a fairly straightforward hill walk that starts at an altitude of 400m and climbs over Green Hill Fell to reach the much more interesting tops of Great Coum (687m) and Crag Hill (682m). The descent is via Bull Pot Farm and the pothole of Bull Pot.  From there it’s a climb following a drystone wall back to the car park near Leck Fell House.

About 9 miles (14.5km) 1500ft (460m) of ascent.

People intending to take part in this event should read GOC's document Safety in the Hills.

Numbers on this walk are limited to 15.
