| High Raise's summit pillar |
"High Raise, though not an impressive mountain itself, is the highest point of the Central Fells. It is infact regarded as the most central point in all of the Lake District and all the 3000ft mountains of England can be seen from its summit".
High Raise is the meeting point of several ridges; the northern ridge stretching to Ullscarf and High Seat, the eastern pointing into Easedale and the southern forming the impressive Langdale Pikes.
The summit of the broad, grassy dome (actually known as High White Stones thanks to the local geology) is topped by a windbreak and an Ordnance Survey pillar.
