Rannerdale Knotts is a fairly small fell but it is beautifully situated prominently on the Crummock Water shoreline. I walked up here in horrible weather in December and came, too early as it turned out, to see the famous Bluebells in April. Tonight, I just fancied a quick run somewhere where I couldn't get lost so I parked up at the car park just before Hause Point and set off on the path that is signposted a bit further along the road that eventually leads to the summit.

| across Crummock Water to Melbreak, another great run but take the steep side first |
 |
| the path soon gains height - steep sides of Melbreak more obvious now |
 |
| Hause Point below (good swimming spot) and Low Ling Crag and High Ling Crag across Crummock Water. The cars on the road give a sense of height and scale |
 |
| Whiteless Pike on the right and Whiteless Edge behind with Rannerdale Beck weaving its way between these and Lad Hows on the left from the top of Rannerdale Knotts |
 |
| over Buttermere towards L-R Robinson, Fleetwith Pike and Haystacks on the far right. The summit cairn of Rannerdale Knotts is just in front on the left of the picture. |
 |
| looking East down Low Bank, Rannerdale Knott summit is behind me here |
 |
| Down the historic valley Crummock Water at the bottom with Loweswater visible behind |
 |
| and here is the route I took |
