사우스 레이크랜드‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪15‬개의 산길

커크스톤 패스(Kirkstone Pass)는 해발 454미터(1,489피트)로 레이크 디스트릭트에서 차량 통행이 가능한 가장 높은 산길입니다. 레드 스크리스(Red Screes)와 세인트 레이븐스 에지(St Ravens Edge)에 둘러싸인 멋진 길입니다. 앰블사이드(Ambleside)를 '더 스트러글(The Struggle)'을 통해 패터데일(Patterdale)과 연결합니다. 또한 트라우트벡(Troutbeck)을 A592를 통해 패터데일과 연결하지만, 현재(2026년 5월) 산사태로 인해 폐쇄되었습니다. 펍은 훌륭하며 평일에는 보통 정오에 문을 열고, 길 건너편에 넓은 공용 주차장이 있습니다. 이곳은 다양한 트레킹을 시작하기에 좋은 출발점이 될 수 있지만, 어느 쪽 언덕을 오르기로 결정하든 시작부터 가파르고 힘든 오르막길을 경험하게 될 것입니다.

A good place place to stop for a pint after walking

The Three Shires Stone at the top of Wrynose Pass is the meeting point of the former counties of Lancashire, Cumberland and Westmorland. Now most people pass over en-route elsewhere. The road to east and west is single track with a few passing places. There is a small amount of parking here. Walkers often ascend up to Red Tarn to the north from here or south onto the Coniston fells.

Sadly the pub is currently closed and has been for some time. Don't pin your hopes on a post walk pint!

If you are on an e-bike then the only way to do it is ride up from Troutbeck and descend into Kentmere, unless you like walk mode!!! Even on a standard bike you are better doing it this way in my opinion.

Kirkstone Pass, at 1,493 feet (455 m), is the Lake District's highest pass open to motor vehicles. The pass connects Ambleside to Patterdale or Windermere to Ullswater. The Kirkstone Pass Inn is the third-highest pub in England and a useful start or end point to a run. This is the end point of the first leg of the Joss Naylor Challenge and it's also used as an aid station point in several races.

Very very steep climb

Very very steep in places
