Other walks in the area

Walking Langdale Pikes

↔6.57 mi ↗+2,438 ft ↘-2,418 ft ◔5h 10 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Lakes (Westmorland and Furness)
A hike to four summits discovering a wide range of this part of the Nation Park Lake District. The Park Lake District trails aren't waymarked. There are very few signs but the pathway is straightforward as there aren't many crossings. It is, however, preferable not to leave the trail, especially in foggy weather.

Walking Langdale Fell

Visorando Member
↔7.33 mi ↗+2,287 ft ↘-2,260 ft ◔5h 20 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Lakes (Westmorland and Furness)
Famous walk passing by Pavey Ark, Harrison Stickle, Pike of Stickle and the well-known scrambling Jack's Rake. ⚠️Do not use Jack's rake path (between (2) and (3)) if you are not a confident scrambler. This is an open scramble that can be very dangerous. Please do not attempt it in wet conditions.

⚑Departure from Lakes (Westmorland and Furness)
The YHA is a great institution and I guess most fell walkers have stayed at a hostel at some time in their lives. 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 6 Wainwrights, 3 tarns,1 lake and 2 pubs.

Lingmoor low level circular
↔9.14 mi ↗+1,230 ft ↘-1,224 ft ◔5h 15 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Lakes (Westmorland and Furness)
A good circular walk around Lingmoor fell with plenty of interest which is a great choice if the higher fells are shrouded in cloud. The walk takes in the Langdale and Little Langdale Valleys, explores a disused slate quarry and passes a working slate quarry. The walking and route finding are easy, the views are good and there are places on the way to buy refreshments. As a circular walk it can be started from a variety of places along the route.
