Naddle Horseshoe



The Naddle Horseshoe is a group of summits in the English Lake District, south of Mardale valley, Cumbria. It is the subject of a chapter of Wainwright's book The Outlying Fells of Lakeland.

Wainwright's walk starts at Swindale and ascends Scalebarrow Knott at 1109 ft before making a clockwise circuit of the valley of Naddle Beck (not to be confused with the better known Naddle Beck which runs north to the River Greta near Keswick). His route includes Harper Hills at 1358 ft, Hare Shaw at 1639 ft, Naddle High Forest  (this and the next are "nameless" according to Wainwright) at 1427 ft, Wallow Crag at 1380 ft, a nameless summit at 1390 ft, and Hugh's Laithes Pike at 1390 ft.
