Burnbank Fell is a rounded, grassy dome above Loweswater, and its highest point is an old metal post where fences meet, with a small cairn beside it. Old mine levels lie above Wisenholme Beck. Blake Fell blocks much of the Lakeland view, but a few steps north-east you can see Crummock Water, and the coast, Isle of Man and Criffel are all on show.
