A Wainwright Walk with Julia Bradbury:

High Street
Start at the carpark at the southern end of Haweswater Reservoir and follow the lakeshore, then head up the ridge before getting to the conifer plantation called The Rigg.

Follow the ridgeline across Heron Crag, Swine Crag, Eagle Crag and Rough Crags. This leads to a rocky staircase called Long Stile. A grassy path leads across the plateau and leads you to the old triangular column at the summits true top.
