Wrynose Pass Signpost

Highlight • Viewpoint

Wrynose Pass very steep in places make sure you’ve got good legs or lots of gears

Wrynose Pass Climb from Fell Foot Farm

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Incredibly steep (almost all over 20%) but so rewarding when you get to the top. The average grade is 11% for this 1.6 mile (2.5 km) climb. On the more gentle slopes at the bottom you'll be admiring Langdale Pikes before the road veers to the left. Definitely take a pause and look back at where you just came from – the view is beautiful, one of the best in the Lakes.

At the top of the pass you'll spot the little Three Shires Stone that marks this meeting points of the former county borders (Cumberland, Lancashire and Wastmorland).

FYI: As tempting as it is to pronounce Wrynose as 'rhinoes', locals usually say something more like 'Wreynuss'.

Wrynose Pass

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Wrynose Pass connects Little Langdale with the Duddon and provides hillwalkers with a high start point for the surrounding Wainwrights. To the south, the Coniston Group can be easily accessed, while Pike o' Blisco and Cold Pike are just as easily claimed to the north. There's quite a bit of parking along the road though it can get very busy in the height of summer.
