Just done Askham Fell and over to Barton Fell yesterday, the views were stunning even if it was rather breezy. Done it from the Askham side, starting of at Helton. Another favourite, and not often mentioned, is the low level walk, starting in Pooley Bridge and following the River Eamont up to Dalemain House, then turning SW to Dacre where the church is well worth a visit. The track from SH 167 cuts out a bit of road walking and then you can take the footpath across the fields, and the A692, to get back to Pooley. It's not a long walk but it makes for a nice easy stroll and it's seldom crowded ! Dockray up to Crookwath and Dowthwaite Head then over Birkett Fell and back across Watermillock Common is another favourite with great views down to Ullswater on the return leg.
