The Jewel in the Crown of the Lake District?

Great Langdale is one of the most dramatic valleys in the Lake District, dominated by the natural splendour of the Langdale Pikes. The drive up the valley on the B5343 from Skelwith Bridge through Elterwater towards Great Langdale, is an experience which will live long in your memory and no trip to The Lake District is complete without a visit to this valley.

This undulating, low-level walk on the lower slopes of the 'Pikes' from the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel into the head of the valley and returning down the opposite side, has beautiful and dramatic mountain scenery throughout.

Please note that a small footbridge on this walk has been washed away so you currently have to wade the stream at waymark 5. This might make the route difficult after heavy rainfall.
