アルズウォーターのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

An impressive summit. I loved viewing it from Fairfeld (reminded me of Chrome Hill in the Peak District) then the mini scramble down cofa pike before ascending again to the summit.

walked past

Very popular with wild campers.

Always a nice stop at the end of a hike for a pint, coffee and food. You pass this en route to various wainwrights, inc Helvellyn.

Lovely pub with terrace overlooking Glenridding

Red Tarn lies on the eastern flank of Helvellyn within a small valley. On the east and south sides of the lake you can see Striding Edge, a ridge that connects Helvellyn and Nethermost Pike to the ascent. The path up Helvellyn is almost entirely made of rock steps or slabs of existing scree. The circular route down via Lower Man and Whiteside summit is mostly a path through lichen and grass. The views over the peaks of the Lake District are magnificent. The national park is located in north-west England between the cities of Carlisle and Lancaster. There are plenty of car parks for hikers - but these are rare at weekends or in high season.

Good spot for a break

A head for heights required and choose a dry day if you’re not confident
