Tips

Mrs Baggins

March 10, 2022

Alfred Wainwrights final resting place as written in his books “These are his own words, taken from his Western Fells guidebook - "All I ask for, at the end, is a last long resting place by the side of Innominate Tarn, on Haystacks, where the water gently laps the gravelly shore and the heather blooms and Pillar and Gable keep unfailing watch. A quiet place, a lonely place. I shall go to it, for the last time, and be carried: someone who knew me in life will take me and empty me out of a little box and leave me there alone. And if you, dear reader, should get a bit of grit in your boot as you are crossing Haystacks in the years to come, please treat it with respect. It might be me."

A beautiful spot to just take a few minutes and soak it all in. Really beautiful but it can get really busy so if you want it to yourself get there nice and early
