Rosthwaite Fell, shadowing the level strath of the Stonethwaite valley, is really the extremities of the Scafells (although seldom recognised as such) and a strong walker may start from the green pastures here and make a fine high level walk over the fell and the adjacent Glaramara to the summit of Scafell Pike, few do this.
