Three Cumbrian mountains have been named amongst the best in the UK to climb. 

The research, conducted by the hiking experts at GO Outdoors, looked at the terrain, distance, and height of each mountain to name mountains perfect for any hiker.

Scafell Pike, Helvellyn, Great Gable, and Catbells were among the top 15 mountains in the UK. 

Scafell Pike came in third, just below Ben Nevis and Snowdon, the top two. 

Helvellyn was next on the list followed by Great Gable and Catbells. 

The mountains are widely acknowledged around Cumbria as some of the most iconic in the area.
