Froswick | Wainwrights Far Eastern Fells

FROSWICK

Froswick is a captivating fell, situated in the heart of the Far Eastern Fells and forming part of the renowned Kentmere Horseshoe. The ascent typically begins from Kentmere village, following the scenic route that takes in the summits of Yoke and Ill Bell before reaching Froswick. I however summited Froswick from the village of Troutbeck. The climb is moderately challenging, with steep sections and rocky paths that demand careful navigation. As you approach the summit, marked by a modest cairn, the panoramic views are simply breathtaking. To the north, the expansive vista includes the imposing High Street range, while to the south, the rolling hills of the Kentmere valley stretch out below. The western outlook offers a mesmerizing view over Windermere and beyond. Froswick’s central location within the horseshoe makes it a pivotal point of the hike, providing a sense of accomplishment and awe. Its dramatic scenery and strategic position make Froswick a must-visit for anyone exploring Wainwright’s Far Eastern Fells.
