Green Quarter Fell is a prominent hill located in the county of Westmorland, in the northwestern region of England. Situated within the picturesque Lake District National Park, it forms a part of the larger Pennines range and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.

Rising to an elevation of 1,093 feet (333 meters), Green Quarter Fell is often classified as a hill rather than a mountain due to its relatively modest height. Nonetheless, it remains a popular destination for hillwalkers and nature enthusiasts alike, drawn to its tranquil beauty and diverse flora and fauna.

The hill is characterized by its gentle slopes, covered in lush grasses, heather, and scattered with rocky outcrops. The path leading to its summit is well-trodden and accessible to walkers of various skill levels, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a relatively easy hike. From the top, visitors are rewarded with sweeping vistas across the Lake District fells, including the nearby Helvellyn and Skiddaw.

Green Quarter Fell is also home to a variety of wildlife. Birdwatchers can spot species such as buzzards, kestrels, and peregrine falcons soaring above the hill, while the slopes are inhabited by red squirrels, deer, and rabbits. The area is also renowned for its wildflowers, with vibrant displays of bluebells, primroses, and heather adding a burst of color to the landscape throughout the year.

Overall, Green Quarter Fell offers a peaceful and picturesque escape for nature lovers, providing an opportunity to experience the beauty of the Lake District from a slightly lesser-known vantage point.

Rural hazard!

This is a narrow road with passing places; sheep are an additional problem. They were here before the cars!

Little is known of the early history of this building. It has been suggested that parts may be of Norman or even Saxon times. It was re-roofed, probably in the mid-16th century, and the present ceiling beams are thought to be of that age. The building’s site, in the middle of a circular walled burial ground next to a yew tree which is around 1000 years old, would suggest a very early place of worship. Link
