Other walks in the area

Walking Glenridding Dodd and Sheffield Pike from Glenridding

Visorando Member
↔5.17 mi ↗+1,742 ft ↘-1,739 ft ◔3h 55 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Patterdale (Westmorland and Furness)
This Lakeland walk includes two Wainwrights and although the distance walked is relatively short there is a steady steep climb up to the col between Glenridding Dodd and Sheffield Pike. The views are excellent throughout and route finding is generally good with clear paths for most of the route. Choose a fine day to enjoy the views across Ullswater and to the Helvellyn ridge.

Walking Hike around Helvellyn Mountain

Visorando Member
↔9.85 mi ↗+3,031 ft ↘-3,038 ft ◔7h 10 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Patterdale (Westmorland and Furness)
An inevitable hike, to the most popular peak of the Lake District, Helwellyn. A hike made all the more pleasant by passing along two lakes: Red Tarn Lake and Grisedale Ran Lake.

Walking Lanty's Tarn from Glenridding circular

Visorando Member
↔2.82 mi ↗+489 ft ↘-472 ft ◔1h 45 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Patterdale (Westmorland and Furness)
This is a short, low level walk that can fill a couple of hours. Good if you are short on time or if it has been raining most of the day and has cleared up in the late afternoon. Nice views over the lake and interesting scenery. (It is the sister walk to another which starts from Patterdale)

This is a great circular walk, taking in some of the higher tops and with a descent via the tranquil and less frequented Dovedale.

Walking Circuit of Boredale from Patterdale

Visorando Member
↔11.05 mi ↗+3,140 ft ↘-3,130 ft ◔7h 50 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Patterdale (Westmorland and Furness)
A Lake District walk starting from Patterdale that includes Place Fell, Howtown, and Beda Fell in a circuit of Boredale. The scenic content of this route is excellent with Ullswater providing a contrast to the rugged fells all around you.

↔11.28 mi ↗+2,779 ft ↘-2,762 ft ◔7h 35 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Patterdale (Westmorland and Furness)
A circular walk from Patterdale which ascends gradually to take in the great views from Angletarn Pikes and The Knott before passing over the Straits of Riggingdale to High Street and The Beacon at Thornwaite Crag. It then descends Threshwaite Cove to Hartsop and a return to Patterdale.

Walking Birks, St. Sunday's, and return via Grisedale

Visorando Member
↔8.95 mi ↗+2,415 ft ↘-2,405 ft ◔6h 15 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Patterdale (Westmorland and Furness)
This is a companion route to Birks, St. Sunday, Cofa Pike, Fairfield, Hart Crag & return via Dovedale as it offers a safe way off the mountain should you need a plan B or if you want a walk with less ascent. It is still a great walk in its own right and the descent of Grisedale is a nice contrast to the ascent of St Sunday Crag.
