Binsey, Cumbria

The quiet one, on the northern edge of the Lake District, with one of the widest summit views on this list: most of the western fells one way, the Solway Firth and southern Scotland the other, and the Isle of Man on a clear day. From the small roadside pull-off at the start, a grassy path rises quickly but not severely to the top in about a mile; walkers who want more can make a 4-mile circuit, returning on a farm track and a final stretch of road. Allow 1 to 2 hours. Expect boggy patches after rain.
