The infamous Hardknott Pass is a real challenge for drivers but parking at the top of the pass opens up a wealth of adventure opportunities. Hiking to the Wainwright summit of Hard Knott from here is easy, while Harter Fell is also an excellent objective to the south. It's also an ideal start point for a wild camping expedition into Upper Eskdale.
