About Troutbeck Tongue
Troutbeck Tongue is a low ridge that splits the upper Troutbeck valley in two, with Trout Beck on its west side and Hagg Gill on its east. It sits under higher fells on three sides: Yoke is 1.6 km east, Ill Bell 1.9 km north-east and Froswick 2.5 km north-east.
From Troutbeck village, follow the valley track north along Trout Beck. The steep south end is the usual way up, with a path that climbs rock and grass onto the ridge. From the summit, the north end slopes in easy grass down to the valley floor, and you can return down either side of the Tongue. The track along the valley floor is easy.
The summit looks up the valley to the Ill Bell ridge and south over Windermere. It suits a short day or poor weather, when the higher ridge is in cloud.
