Angletarn Pikes takes its plural from the two rocky towers at the summit, separated by perhaps 200 yards of peaty bog. The northern top is the true summit, the other being some six feet lower. The southern top is compensated by a clear view of Angle Tarn, described by Wainwright as among the best of Lakeland tarns. The wider view stretches from the Helvellyn range to the spine of the Far Eastern Fells across Martindale.
