Langdale Pikes

3. The Langdale Pikes, Lake District

Saturday 24 April 2021. With Cath Lee.

Great Langdale is one of the most beautiful valleys in the Lake District surrounded by stunning mountains. Our Langdale Pikes guided walk takes us up the hillside, and over the highest summits on the northern side of the valley.

You will be walking as part of a small group of no more than five people, plus your friendly, professional guide.

Starting from a car park near to The New Dungeon Ghyll hotel, we take a path steeply up the hillside following in the Stickle Ghyll, up to Stickle Tarn with the impressive cliff face of Pavey Ark rising up behind it. We take a path that skirts around the right hand side of this onto the summit of Pavey Ark, and continue over the distinctive summits of Harrison Stickle, Loft Crag, and Pike of Stickle. There is some very easy scrambling involved to reach a couple of these summits.

Our route continues around the western end of the valley onto Rossett Pike before taking a path back down the hillside into Great Langdale. On a clear day the views on this walk are breathtaking.

The distance is about 9.5 miles/15km with approx 1,230 metres of ascent, some of which is steep. The terrain is rough and rocky in places and can be wet and boggy in other places.

The cost to join this guided walk up is £38 per person. You are booking with Cath Lee who will guide the walk. Please book and pay below.
