Black Fell & Holme Fell. Lake District. 23rd March 2022

A walk in the Lake District which includes Tarn Hows, Black Fell, Hodge Close Quarry, Holme Fell & Yew Tree Tarn.
A walk up to two of the lower Wainwright Fells, Black Fell & Holme Fell.
The walk starts from the scenic Tarn Hows before heading up to Black Fell ( Black Crag) What it lacks in height (323m) it certainly makes up for in views. Superb views looking over to Windermere, the Eastern Fells and the Langdale Fells from Black Fell.
From Black Fell we enjoy a very scenic walk over to the dramatic Hodge Close Quarry. Care is needed when viewing Hodge Close Quarry as there are sudden drops from the edge of the Quarry.
From Hodge Close Quarry we follow the path through some woodland and past a disused reservoir before reaching the summit of Holme Fell.
Another low fell at 317m but again with great views.
From Holme Fell we follow the path down to Yew Tree Tarn before heading back up to Tarn Hows.
Distance is aroud 7.5miles
