Greendale and Middle Fell Walk, North Lakes OutdoorsWalking route5.6 km▾
Not far from the busy slopes of Scafell Pike, discover the quieter side of the Western Fells on this circular above Wastwater. There's a hidden mountain tarn, views over the Wasdale Screes & if visibility is good, the Isle of Man.
