About Glaramara

Glaramara rises to 783 m (2,569 ft) on the ridge that runs south from Borrowdale towards Esk Hause, with Langstrath on its eastern side. It is a Wainwright, Hewitt, Nuttall, HuMP and Birkett, with 122 m of prominence. Allen Crags, the nearest higher fell, lies 2.1 km to the south-west at the far end of the ridge.
