Situated on the Western Lake District fells near remote Ennerdale Water at the head of the Mosedale and Ennerdale valleys, the looming bulk of Pillar, at 892m (2,927 feet) is Cumbria's eleventh highest mountain and forms part of the Mosedale Horseshoe.

The mountain was first climbed in the 1860's. Its summit commands superb views of the Buttermere and Crummock Valley and beyond. The summit ridge of Pillar is one of the best places to see the 'brocken spectre' when the sun casts your shadow onto the mist in the coves below.
