 | | Helvellyn is the highest point in a great ridge of fells, is the most frequently climbed mountain in the Lake District and offers unbeatable and spectacular views of the panorama of the Lake District from the its summit, on a clear day almost every fell in the area can be seen. |
 | | Helvellyn's most dramatic feature is Striding Edge, a knife edged ridge which has, in the past, gained a fearsome reputation amongst walkers and must be treated with care. |
 | | Red Tarn, on the eastern flank of Helvellyn, beneath Catseye Cam and Striding Edge, is one of the highest tarns in the Lake District, lying at an altitude of 2,356 feet and has a depth of 82 feet. |
