Beggarside Hill is a prominent hill located in Westmorland, a historic county in the northwestern region of England. Rising to an elevation of approximately 580 meters (1,903 feet), it is classified as a hill rather than a mountain.

Situated within the picturesque Lake District National Park, Beggarside Hill offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Its location near the village of Beggarside contributes to its name, which is derived from the nearby settlement. The hill is easily accessible by foot, with several hiking trails leading to its summit, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers.

The terrain of Beggarside Hill is characterized by grassy slopes and rocky outcrops, providing a diverse landscape for visitors to explore. Its relatively modest height allows for a relatively easy ascent, although caution is advised due to the occasionally steep gradients and changeable weather conditions typical of the region.

The hill is also home to a variety of flora and fauna, including heather, bilberry bushes, and occasional sightings of birds of prey such as buzzards and kestrels. Due to its location within a designated national park, Beggarside Hill is protected and its natural beauty preserved.

Overall, Beggarside Hill offers a rewarding experience for those seeking outdoor adventure and a chance to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Lake District. Its accessibility and breathtaking views make it a must-visit location for both locals and tourists alike.
