Kentmere Pike is a grassy dome between Kentmere and Longsleddale, with a stone wall along its ridge and an Ordnance Survey trig point just east of the wall. The Longsleddale side is a rim of crags, including Goat Scar, above the narrow upper River Sprint. The western flank shows plenty of old quarrying, and an ancient grooved path climbs from the end of High Lane in Kentmere.
