Swirl How
Swirl How is a fell in the English Lake District. It stands between Coniston and the Duddon Valley in the southern part of the District.
The Coniston (or Furness) Fells form the watershed between Coniston Water and the Duddon valley to the west. The range begins at Wrynose Pass and runs south for around 10 miles before petering out at Broughton in Furness on the Duddon Estuary. Alfred Wainwright in his influential ''Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells'' took only the northern half of the range as Lakeland proper, consigning the lower fells to the south to a supplementary work ''The Outlying Fells of Lakeland''. Swirl How being a significant high point of the Coniston Fells therefore qualifies as one of the 214 Wainwrights. Later guidebook writers have chosen to include the whole range in their main volumes.〔Richards, Mark: ''Southern Fells'': Collins (2003): ISBN 0-00-711367-6〕〔Birkett, Bill: ''Complete Lakeland Fells'': Collins Willow (1994): ISBN 0-00-218406-0〕
==Doubt over height==
There is some doubt in the literature over the altitude of Swirl How. This takes on a greater significance since if it is the high point of the Coniston Fells, it is only so by a small margin. Its near neighbour, The Old Man of Coniston is within a few feet of parity. The Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 series has no spot height for Swirl How, although it is included on the 1:50,000 and the height is stated as 802m.〔http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=54.378542~-3.095968&lvl=13&dir=0&sty=s&eo=0&q=millom&form=LMLTCC〕 Birkett 〔 and Wainwright 〔Alfred Wainwright: ''A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells'', Book 4: ISBN 0-7112-2457-9〕 also quote 2,630 ft (802 m) whilst Richards 〔 and the British Mountaineering Council 1:40,000 map 〔''British Mountain Maps: Lake District'': Harvey (2006): ISBN 1-85137-467-1〕 quote 2,637 ft. (804 m)
