England’s highest mountains




 

7. Fairfield Mountain
Fairfield is the highest of a group of hills located in the Eastern Fells and it stands to the south of the Helvellyn range. Fairfield has connecting ridges to several other fells and in plan view can be likened to a bow-tie.

 

8. Blencathra Mountain
For many years, Ordnance Survey listed Blencathra under the alternative name of Saddleback which is a group of northerly hills in the English Lake District. Its name refers to the word “chair” or seat like mountain.
