Bannisdale Horseshoe

The Bannisdale Horseshoe is an upland area in Cumbria, England, near the eastern boundary of the Lake District National Park, surrounding the valley of Bannisdale Beck, a tributary of the River Mint. It is described in the final chapter of Wainwright's book The Outlying Fells of Lakeland.

Wainwright's clockwise walk visits Whiteside Pike at 1302 ft, Todd Fell at 1313 ft, Capplebarrow at 1683 ft, a nameless summit at 1819 ft (identified in the Database of British and Irish Hills (DoBIH) as Swinklebank Crag), a further nameless summit at 1771 ft (identified in DoBIH as Ancrow Brow North), Long Crag at 1602 ft, White Howe at 1737 ft, a further nameless summit at 1736 ft (identified in DoBIH as The Forest ) and Lamb Pasture at 1205 ft. Wainwright describes Whiteside Pike as "a dark pyramid of heather and bracken and outcrops of rock: much the most attractive part of the horseshoe and worth a visit even if one goes no further."
