Beacon Fell is a fell located in the southern Lake District of England with an altitude of 255m/836ft. Alfred Wainwright included it in his 8th Pictorial Guide, "The Outlying Fells of Lakeland".
Geographically the fell is located in the Blawith Fells to the west of the bottom end of Coniston Water. The fell is above Beacon Tarn and can be accessed from quiet paths off the main road from Water Yeat to Torver.
Although it is relatively low, it has fabulous panoramic views of the Coniston Fells, Coniston Water and Morecambe Bay.
