Slight Side from Whahouse Bridge

Departure from Eskdale (Cumberland)

A Lake District walk to a summit often only visited in passing. The route starts in Eskdale and takes a direct approach to the top.

YHA hopping in The Lake District - YHA Eskdale to YHA Coniston Holly How

Departure from Eskdale (Cumberland)

The YHA is a great institution and I guess most fell walkers have stayed at a hostel at some time in their lives. Funny how they were created "to help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside, particularly by providing hostels or other simple accommodation for them on their travels". Here's a collection of routes starting or finishing at a YHA in The Lakes. Along the way are 3 Wainwrights, 4 tarns and 1 pub.

Hardknott fort and Tongue Pot

Departure from Eskdale (Cumberland)

Walk to Hardknott fort and Tongue Pot. Dog friendly walk. Perfect walk to go wild swimming.

Harter Fell and Low Birker Tarn (Eskdale)

Departure from Eskdale (Cumberland)

Harter Fell occupies a relatively isolated position overlooking the Eskdale valley and this Lake District walk offers some wonderful views towards Scafell and Scafell Pike. The route also includes a visit to pretty Low Birker Tarn, which sees relatively few visitors.

The Scafells from Eskdale

Departure from Eskdale (Cumberland)

This challenging Lake District walk includes Scafell and Scafell Pike in a single circuit using the long approach from the Esk Valley. There are some sections of the route that require care and experience in map reading is essential.

Blea tarn and White Moss

Departure from Eskdale (Cumberland)

Dog-friendly circular walk starting from Dalegarth Station pasing by Blea Tarn, Mitterdale valley and White Moss little stone circle. It offers amazing view over the Eskdale valley.

Along the river Esk from Dalegarth

Departure from Eskdale (Cumberland)

Lovely walk starting from Dalegarth, following the river Esk until Doctor Bridge, and returning by Low Birker Tarn and the other side of the river Esk. This is a dog-friendly walk. If you take the detour, there is no path to access Low Birken tarn. We can only see the small tarn from above. The view from the path going to the tarn is lovely. Good navigation skills are needed to walk around Tarn Crag as the path is not visible.
