Brim Fell is a gentle, curving hill that links the popular summit of Coniston Old Man with Swirl How and its ridges. On a sunny day, Brim Fell’s grassy slopes are perfect for a stroll, a picnic, or a sunbath and its delights are always felt the more keenly for having escaped the crowds on the Old Man. If starting out from Coniston, a circular walk can be made by continuing north to Swirl How and then descending via Swirl Hause and Levers Water.
