The Wrynose Pass connects Little Langdale with the Duddon and provides hillwalkers with a high start point for the surrounding Wainwrights. To the south, the Coniston Group can be easily accessed, while Pike o' Blisco and Cold Pike are just as easily claimed to the north. There's quite a bit of parking along the road though it can get very busy in the height of summer.

Great place for a shorter hike starting at high elevation

Brilliant cycle route to test yourself with this and Hardknott. Careful of the descent towards Langdale as scrubbing speed is essential
