Other walks in the area
YHA hopping in The Lake District - YHA Black Sail to YHA Wasdale Hall
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 and 1 pub.
Knott Rigg and Ard Crags from Newlands Hause
A short Lake District ridge walk that includes two Wainwrights. Surrounded by higher fells, the ridge between Ard Crags and Knott Rigg offers some wonderful Lakeland scenery.
Bleaberry Tarn via Scale Force and Red Pike
This circular walk brings you along Crummock Water, up Scale Force before scrambling up to Red Pike and down to Bleaberry Tarn and Buttermere.
⚠️Be careful along the way, there are some parts where you need to put your hand on the rock, there is no obvious path so navigation skill is important and there is a scramble going to Bleaberry Tarn which can be challenging .
Buttermere water and Hay Stacks summit
Dog friendly circular walk around Buttermere water and going up Hay Stacks summit.
Rannerdale Knotts from Buttermere Village
This is a walk from the centre of Buttermere village going up through Ghyll Woods up to Grassgarth Coppice. From here head up to Rannerdale Knotts. We came back down the northwestern side and followed the route back to the village.
Around Buttermere Water
Easy circular walk around Buttermere Water. This walk offers beautiful views on the surrounding summits.
