What is the most beautiful walk in the Lake District?
If you’re looking for a breathtaking mountain walk in the Lake District, look no further than the Langdale Pikes walk. This area is home to six peaks, including Pavey Ark, Harrison Stickle, and Pike of Stickle. There are several routes to choose from, but we recommend starting from the Great Langdale campsite. Wainwrights cover a wide range of heights, from major mountains such as the highest Wainwright, Scafell Pike at 978 metres (3,209 ft), to Castle Crag, the smallest Wainwright at 290 metres (951 ft).A route taking in over 20,000ft of ascent in reaching the ten highest ‘Wainwrights’ of the Lake District: Scafell Pike, Scafell, Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Great End, Bowfell, Great Gable, Pillar, Nethermost Pike and Catstye Cam.For example, Munros are mountains in Scotland over 3000ft. Height isn’t always a distinguishing factor though, as in the case of the Wainwrights, which are simply those fells detailed by Alfred Wainwright in his famous Lake District walking books.
