Blake Fell is a hill in the Western part of the English Lake District. It is the highest point of the Loweswater Fells, an area of low grassy hills with steep sides overlooking the lake of Loweswater. The fell also overlooks the village of Loweswater, from which it can be climbed. An alternative route is from the Cogra Moss reservoir on its western slopes. Because the Loweswater Fells are a separate geographical unit, Blake Fell is a Marilyn. It is located in the Parish of Lamplugh.

Knock Murton
Knock Murton or Murton Fell is a hill of 464.4 metres (1,524 ft) in the north west of the Lake District, England. It lies in the Cumberland district in Cumbria.
It is classed as a Fellranger, being described by Richards in his book series. It is among the 21 such summits (originally 18 before the extension of the Lake District) which are not included in Wainwright's list of 214. In the Blake Fell section of the 2020 edition of Wainwright's The Western Fells it is noted that Wainwright had described it as "the forbidden peak" and that "A tight forest fence at one time encircled the whole of Murton Fell", but that there is now free access for walkers either from the forest road to the south or over a stile in the fence to the north.
