The Bannisdale Horseshoe is an upland area in Cumbria, England, near the eastern boundary of the Lake District National Park, surrounding the valley of Bannisdale Beck, a tributary of the River Mint. It is described in the final chapter of Wainwright's book The Outlying Fells of Lakeland.[1]
Wainwright's clockwise walk visits Whiteside Pike at 1302feet, Todd Fell at 1313feet, Capplebarrow at 1683feet, a nameless summit at 1819feet (identified in the Database of British and Irish Hills (DoBIH) as Swinklebank Crag), a further nameless summit at 1771feet (identified in DoBIH as Ancrow Brow North), Long Crag at 1602feet, White Howe at 1737feet, a further nameless summit at 1736feet (identified in DoBIH as The Forest[2]) and Lamb Pasture at 1205feet. Wainwright describes Whiteside Pike as "a dark pyramid of heather and bracken and outcrops of rock: much the most attractive part of the horseshoe and worth a visit even if one goes no further."
