Red Pike in Buttermere is a popular fell in the Lake District, standing at 755 meters high. Its rich red color comes from the syenite in its rock and subsoil. The direct ascent from Buttermere is a favorite among hikers, offering stunning views of Scafells, Great Gable, and Pillar. Don't mix it up with Red Pike in Wasdale, though—they're close but not visible from each other. The summit boasts a large cairn and fantastic views of Derwentwater, Buttermere, Crummock Water, Ennerdale Water, and Loweswater. It's a must-visit for those seeking a picturesque hike in the western fells!
