Winder rises straight above Sedbergh, the first top of the Howgill Fells for anyone walking out of the town. A trig point and a view indicator stand on the summit. Sedbergh School has a song about it, "Winder", with words by Frederic Blagden Malim, which pupils still sing.

Rock & Ground
Like the rest of the Howgills, it is built of old Palaeozoic sandstones, siltstones and mudstones rather than the limestone found across most of the Dales.
