Wasdale (NT)
Recommended by
Overview
Wasdale is a remote farming hamlet surrounded by spectacular fells and dramatic wilderness. The fells have been an inspiration for mountaineers, climbers and poets for decades and remain a magnificent setting for adventure. Walk the dog in Low Wood with 'Britain’s Favourite view' or jump on a mountain bike to discover the local bridleways. Alternatively, enjoy a picnic on the shores of Wastwater, England’s deepest lake. For those seeking a mountain adventure, the options are almost endless, from a short scenic walk up some of the lower fells such as Middle fell with its panoramic view of the Scafell massif to walking up England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike. If you prefer a swim you could pop over to the quieter side of the Western fells, to Greendale and its hidden mountain tarn.
About the area
Cumbria's rugged yet beautiful landscape is best known for the Lake District National Park that sits within its boundaries. It’s famous for Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, and Derwent Water, ‘Queen of the English Lakes', but other lesser-known areas in the south, such as the Lune Valley and the coastal towns, are secret gems of wide cobbled streets and rolling hills.
