About Shipman Knotts
Shipman Knotts rises between Kentmere and Longsleddale, at the southern tip of the ridge that runs north to Kentmere Pike and Harter Fell. Kentmere Pike is 1.7 km north-west. Tarn Crag and Grey Crag lie 2.2 km and 2.6 km north-east, across Longsleddale.
The summit is one of several rocky knolls beside a wall, with grass and heather between them. Walkers doing the Kentmere Horseshoe clockwise reach Shipman Knotts near the end, then descend south-west to the track at Stile End and back into Kentmere. A direct climb from Kentmere follows the same line in reverse.
The ascent is short but rough, with heather and rock underfoot. The knobbly top gives views down Longsleddale and over to the Ill Bell ridge on the far side of Kentmere.
