Bampton 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

High Street의 삼각점 정상은 레이크 디스트릭트에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 극적이고 날카로운 봉우리나 절벽 가장자리라기보다는 넓고 평평한 고원입니다. 근처에 돌담이 있어 바람을 막아주므로 휴식을 취하기에 아주 좋은 장소입니다. 황량하지만 주변 언덕의 전망이 좋습니다.

Kidsty Pike의 작은 정상석은 Riggingdale Valley로 극적인 절벽을 내려다보는 바위 돌출부에 자리 잡고 있습니다. 이 780미터(2,631피트) 봉우리는 The Knott, Rampsgill Head, High Rise, High Street와 같은 동료 Wainwright 봉우리들과 가까운 곳에 위치한 가파르고 바위가 많으며 극적인 Wainwright입니다.

This is the highest point of the Coast to Coast path

This is the view of Rough Crag on the way up to High Street. A classic Lake District ridge. Its rugged spine rises sharply above Haweswater.

A great wind break and shelter if wanting to stop for a break.

Conservation is a big part of the area. RSPB and United Waters have joined forces to offers a good habitat to peregrine falcons, redstarts, and ring ouzels as a few examples of the bird-species and ensuring that the forest offers a good nesting and foraging ground for red squirrels. A donation cairn, to support the RSPB’s work at Wild Haweswater, is situated in the car park. They suggest a donation of £2, but any amount large or small is gratefully received. Please note that only cash donations can be made in the cairn as the lack of mobile phone reception means they are unable to take card payments. However, if you wish to send an online donation to support their work, you can do so here. There is also a Mountain Rescue cairn in the car park, you are kindly encourage you to support their life-saving work if you feel able to.

High street is the summit of a very wide ridge. Beware it gets incredibly windy up there - don't forget gloves and layers, in particular from October through April ! On a clear day, you will get superb views over: the Pennines; The Helvellyn range and the Southern Fells. First used by the roman for defense; the Ridge is the highest roman road in Britain. In the 18th and 19th century; the wild plateau was used for local fairs. Stray sheep would be returned to their owners and horses would be raced on the ridge ! I personally used this ridge for an 8 miles walk taking in Mardale Ill Bell, High Street and Kidsty Pike. You could take in 2 further wainwrights with very little efforts: The Knott and Rampsgill Head. And if you are into Long Distance walking: there is full south-to-north traverse of the High Street ridge from Ings near Windermere to the Eamont valley at the northern end of Ullswater stretching 19-mile and taking in 12 summits.
