    Kirkstone Pass is the Lake District's highest pass that is open to motor vehicles, with an altitude of 454 metres (1,489 feet). It connects Ambleside in the Rothay Valley to Patterdale in the Ullswater valley, with a gradient of 1 in 4 in places. Beautiful views to Brothers Water on the descent into Patterdale.



    The Kirkstone Pass Inn, formerly an important coaching inn, is England's theird highest pub and stands close to the summit of the pass.

      A very narrow road, which is extremm steep in the upper and lower range and therefore more suitable for downhill. The climb should be taken by Windermere or Ullswater.
