Eastward from Branstree is a wide swathe of rough moorland between the parallel valleys of Mardale and Swindale. This runs for about five miles before petering out at the valley of the River Lowther. Immediately east of Branstree is a second fell of similar height (2,207 ft) and character, which is unnamed on OS maps. At least one guidebook has suggested 'High Howes' as a name, but Wainwright considered this to be a part of Branstree rather than a separate fell. Across Captain Whelter Bog to the north of the unnamed summit is Selside Pike, the final Wainwright in that direction.
