Rising to an elevation of 1,245 feet (379 meters), it is classified as a hill rather than a mountain.

Numerous walking trails lead to the summit, offering varying degrees of difficulty to accommodate visitors of all fitness levels. Many visitors also take advantage of the hill's favorable location to enjoy picnics or simply relax and take in the stunning views.

From the summit of Flat Hill, visitors are rewarded with breathtaking vistas of the nearby lakes, including Windermere and Coniston Water, as well as the iconic peaks of the Lake District, such as Scafell Pike and Helvellyn. The hill's strategic location also allows for stunning sunsets and sunrises, casting a golden glow over the landscape.

In conclusion, Flat Hill in Westmorland is a picturesque and accessible hill that offers visitors stunning views of the Lake District.

White butterbur (Petasites albus), hedgerow, Mask Road The location is shown here <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3409389">NY7114 : Mask Road</a>

White butterbur is a native of the mountains of Europe and S.W. Asia. It was introduced to Britain as a garden ornamental in 1683, and naturalised in West Yorkshire by at least 1843. Plants are dioecious, consisting of separate male and female plants which are not self-fertile. In Britain, plants flower as early as February and are visited by various insects. If pollinated, female plants bear dandelion-like cylindrical seeds with a tuft of long white hairs. As the vast majority of naturalised populations consist entirely of male plants the extent of sexual reproduction is unclear and spread occurs largely by dispersal of the rhizomes.
