Brim Fell rises to 796 m (2,612 ft) on the main ridge of the Coniston fells, 0.8 km north of The Old Man of Coniston. With 20 m of prominence it is a high point on the ridge more than a separate fell, though it counts as a Wainwright, Nuttall and Birkett. To the east the ground falls in steep slopes to the combe holding Low Water and Levers Water. To the west a long grassy slope runs down towards the Duddon side.
You cross Brim Fell on the ridge path from The Old Man north to Swirl How, which is 2.0 km away. The path is clear and stony with little height change between tops. From Coniston village you climb through the old quarries to Low Water and up to the ridge.
A large cairn marks the rounded, rock-strewn summit. The ridge here is broad, and in mist walkers drift east towards the crags above Low Water, so keep a compass handy.
