About Ling Fell
Ling Fell stands on its own at the north-western edge of the Lake District, above the hamlet of Wythop Mill and the Embleton valley. It is a rounded hill of heather and grass, cut off from the higher ground to the south by the valley of Wythop Beck. Sale Fell is 1.8 km north-east and Broom Fell 2.1 km south-east.
The usual start is Wythop Mill. A track climbs round the hill, and a path leads up through the heather to the summit. It is a short walk with no steep or rocky ground. Many walkers pair Ling Fell with Sale Fell on the same day.
