Gosforthの峠・トップ5

息をのむような景色で、立ち寄る価値あり！

Peaceful roads exploring the fells between the River Ehen and Ennerdale Water. Stunning views down to the lake.

Fat man's struggle. The start of the Broad Stand route. About 100m below Mickledore

Scarth Gap is the 1,460-foot (445 m) high mountain pass between beautiful Buttermere and tranquil Ennerdale in the Western Lake District. It makes use of the col between the towering High Crag and Haystacks, Wainwright's favourite fell and final resting place. From the Gap, it's an entertaining clamber to Haystacks' summit or a steep, rocky pull up onto High Crag. Energetic hikers also use the pass to reach the remote and mighty Wainwright summit of Pillar from Gatesgarth, a big but rewarding undertaking.

For mountain lovers, there are few more magical places in the Lake District than Mickledore, the pass between Scafell Pike and Scafell. It is an exciting ridge of rock backed by Scafell's muscular East Buttress that gives access to a number of routes onto England's two highest summits. The hiking routes to Scafell Pike from here are relatively straightforward, if a little bit rugged. To attain Scafell from Mickledore, walkers have two choices: Lord's Rake, an atmospheric scramble through a gully on the mountain's north side; or Foxes Rake, an easier but no less strenuous hike to the south. Rock climbers can access Scafell via Broad Stand, a 'moderate' climb where the consequences of a slip at the crux can be fatal. It is a mountain rescue blackspot and has sadly seen many deaths over the years. Despite being the quickest way between Scafell Pike and Scafell, it is not a route for hikers.

Beautiful climb on quiet roads. Lovely views.

Even nuclear power stations look good in the sunshine

Arguably the best road in the UK you've never heard of. Go and ride it. Immediately.
