Nice to get a brew out of the harsh wind

Delicious food and drink but very busy in peak times.

Busy in the summer and peak times but dog friendly and delicious food/drinks.

Starting the Honister Pass climb from Seatoller, the B5289 initially rises steadily from the beautiful Borrowdale valley. Find a sustainable rhythm early, but know the real test lies ahead. The gradient ramps up severely in the latter stages, especially after crossing the stream bridge. Experience the full force of the climb on the final brutal ramps leading towards the Honister Slate Mine at the summit, where the gradient reaches a formidable 25%. Feel the stunning, rugged Lake District scenery unfold around you as you push hard on the narrow, winding road. Be aware of other traffic sharing this challenging ascent. The reward is immense satisfaction as you crest the summit by the mine, with breathtaking views back down Borrowdale.

Amazing scenery of the lake and fells, good place for photos

Honister Pass links the Buttermere Valley to the eastern end of Borrowdale. At 356 metres (1,167 feet), it’s one of the highest passes in Cumbria, featuring a steep 1-in-4 (25%) gradient.

The lake is fed by numerous streams including the beck from Scale Force. The River Cocker starts from here, flowing towards Cockermouth where it joins the River Derwent.

National Cycle Network route 71 crosses from the Buttermere Valley into Lorton Vale. It's known as the C2C route and has stunning views over Crummock Water.
