Stybarrow Dodd

There are many ways to approach Stybarrow Dodd. It rises just to the north of the Sticks Pass, an important junction and the easiest way to get across the Helvellyn range from Ullswater in the east to Thirlmere in the west (or vice versa).
The fell can also be linked with its eastern subsidiaries, Glenridding Dodd, Sheffield Pike and Green Side, or with the other Dodds. Whichever way you decide to roam, on a clear day you are guaranteed a majestic distant panorama of Lake District fells. As is the case with all of the Dodds, the view’s foreground interest is adversely impacted by the broad nature of the summit.
You can find accommodation in the Ullswater or St John’s in the Vale regions.

Hiking
Stybarrow Dodd is the most southerly of the Dodds and can be ascended from Thirlmere and Ullswater via Sticks Pass, the high col to the south. From the pass, it is only a short (if strenuous) walk up neighbouring Raise.
