Walking
Pillar Trail from Wasdale Head, North Lakes OutdoorsWalking route12 km
This challenging walk involves a vertical ascent of over 800m so will test the stamina of most walkers. But it's well worth the effort because few places in the Lake District have views that can compete with those offered from the Pillar summit.
Coast to Coast Walk (St Bees to Shap)Walking route
Buttermere to Rannerdale Walk, North Lakes OutdoorsWalking route4.8 km
This invigorating Lakeland ridge walk climbs from the Buttermere Valley up to the summit of Rannerdale Knotts, offering views over 3 lakes & high peaks. The scenic circular then returns via Crummock Water & Nether How woodland to the village of Buttermere
