Loughrigg Fell reaches 335m (1,099ft) and spreads over a wide area of hummocks, small tarns and bracken between the Rothay and Brathay valleys. Nab Scar is 2.3km north across Rydal Water, and Silver How 2.7km north-west. It is a Wainwright, Marilyn and Birkett.
From Grasmere you can walk along Loughrigg Terrace above the lake and climb a pitched path to the trig pillar on the summit. From Ambleside a lane crosses Rothay Park and climbs onto the fell from the south. Paths from Rydal pass Rydal Cave, a large old slate quarry.
The top is a maze of knolls, small tarns and crossing paths, and the trig pillar is not on the most obvious knoll from every side. In mist you can drift off line, though you are never far from a valley road. On a clear day the summit looks down Windermere to the south and up the Rothay valley to Grasmere and Rydal Water.
