Walker
↔8.18 km ↗+361 m ↘-375 m ◔3h 20 ▲Difficult
⚑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.

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

Association or club
↔16.35 km ↗+1,190 m ↘-1,201 m ◔8h 05 ▲Difficult
⚑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.
