Darn...
Despite (reluctantly) living in England, I've not explored any part of it for nearly two years - apart from a random day doing an untrained effort on the Abrahams tea round last spring....

So a rather old photo dredged up from the millions in the photo bank.
A wonderful, but unexpectedly white day.
Just the rough location will do (!)

I think the hills on the left are Causey Pike and Outerside, so the photo was taken from somewhere near Keswick?

Clue: I’m in the eastern fells, near a summit which Wainwright gave a chapter to - but if it was in Scotland, I think it would probably be too closely linked to other hills to qualify as a Corbett.

This has been a little while, so here is another picture of the fell. Bonus clue: by coincidence, the fell's initials are also in my latest puzzle in "can I have a P please Bob"
