Grid Ref:	NY 291 121
Area:	Central
Ordnance Survey:	OL4
Wainwright Guidebook:	Three
	Of the Lakeland fells over 2,000 feet Ullscarth will generally be adjudged the most central, and it is a pity that Nature has not endowed it with distinctive superstructure worthy of the honour. If only the crags extended a thousand feet higher, and if only the summit took the shape of the Matterhorn! Instead of which, the top of the fell is the dullest imaginable. The most central, perhaps, but not, alas, a very distinguished pivot!
