Catbells is one of the most popular fells in the Cumbrian mountains of the Lake District in England and it's not hard to see why when you experience the amazing 360 panoramic views from the summit. For those of you unable to complete such a physically demanding walk as this in person, I really hope you enjoy the video and get a real sense of how it feels to be 1,480 ft above the world.

Situated on the western shore of Derwentwater about three miles from the town of Keswick, Cat Bells and its distinctive shape catches the attention of many visitors to the Lakes who feel compelled to climb to the summit after seeing it from the viewpoint of Friars' Crag on the opposite side of Derwentwater. Alfred Wainwright wrote of the popularity of Cat Bells among fellwalkers of all abilities: "It is one of the great favourites, a family fell where grandmothers and infants can climb the heights together, a place beloved."

Catbells is the last fell on the ridge separating Derwentwater from the Newlands valley. It rises due south from Hawes End, reaching the summit in two distinct steps. The lower top is named Skelgill Bank. Beyond the summit is the steep-sided depression of Hause Gate, before the ridge broadens and twists south westward to Maiden Moor.

The Catbells ridge is an example of the Buttermere Formation, an olistostrome of disrupted, sheared and folded mudstone, siltstone and sandstone.

Many walkers who reach the top of return to their starting point after admiring the view: however, strong walkers can continue along the ridge to take in the fells of Maiden Moor, High Spy, Dale Head, Hindscarth and Robinson to give a horseshoe walk which ends in the Newlands valley close to Hawes End.

The summit is all rock with many loose stones lying amid the small outcrops. The view from the top gives a fine panorama which is dominated by the aerial view of Derwentwater. Bassenthwaite Lake, the Newlands Valley, Skiddaw and Keswick all show well to the north, while the view south has a fine vista of Borrowdale.
