| This short walk starts from Heathwaite Lane a short distance from its junction with the B5284 road between Windermere and Kendal. There are quite a few spaces to park near to start of the ROW footpath to Bowness |
 |
| The start of the footpath is just a few yards to the west of the first parking space |
 |
| A wall stile gives access to a wide track which leads to Brantfell Farm and onwards to Bowness-on-Windermere |
 |
| The track to Brantfell Farm |
 |
| The crags below the summit of Brant Fell soon come into view |
 |
| Brant Fell is not open access land but there is no objection from the landowner to walkers visiting the summit. We turn off the ROW track 120 yards from the wall stile onto a permissive path |
 |
| The path soon splits, we take the gentler left branch although they both re-unite higher up |
 |
