Dale Head rises to 754 m (2,474 ft) at the head of the Newlands valley, between Borrowdale and Buttermere. With 398 m of prominence it is a Marilyn as well as a Wainwright, Hewitt, Nuttall and Birkett. Hindscarth and High Spy both lie 1.4 km away, to the north-west and north-east, and Fleetwith Pike stands across Honister Pass.
The shortest route climbs from the top of Honister Pass, following a line of old fence posts up the grassy southern slope. From Newlands, you walk up the valley past old copper workings and Dalehead Tarn. Dale Head is the high point of the Newlands Horseshoe, which links Robinson, Hindscarth, Dale Head, High Spy and Maiden Moor from Little Town.
The summit cairn sits on the edge of the northern crags and gives you a line of sight down the length of Newlands. Those crags fall steep and broken, so stay near the path in poor visibility.
