Catbells

A moderate walk over catbells mountain (450metres) with an additional route to a viewing area looking derwent water. The name Cat Bells may have come from a corruption of 'cat's bield' meaning a wild cat'sshelter and may stem from days gone by when wild cats still roamed our countryside. Whatever the reason for it's name, Cat Bells is a notable part of the skyline of Borrowdale which you simply cannot miss. As this is a battle pt walk there maybe some additional challenges alongh the route but nothing to crazy!
