“The charms of Angle Tarn, at all seasons of the year, are manifold: in scenic values it ranks amongst the best of Lakeland Tarns”

A Wainwright

From St Peters Church, Martindale we follow the lane towards Sandwick, past Doe Green to meet the footpath skirting around the northern flank of Sleet Fell, there are wonderful views over the northern half of Ullswater from this path and as we climb up above High Knott the views become more expansive.

The path brings us up onto the north eastern ridge of Place Fell at Low Moss, from here it's an easy walk along the grassy ridge to the summit of Place Fell, on of the best viewpoints over the Helvellyn range.

From the summit of Place Fell we descend south on the good path, dropping down to Boredale Hause, passing the remains of Chapel in the Hause, an ancient site of a church thought to be built by St Patrick and dedicated to St Martin of Tours.

From Boredale Hause a good path leads to the south, this is the route of the ever popular Coast to Coast path climbing below Stony Rigg until an easy route is found up to the summit of The Angletarn Pikes, a short distance off the path to the north.

From the summit of The Angletarn Pikes we walk north to meet the path crossing Heckbeck Head, this path descends onto the Beda Fell ridge, over Bedafell Knott and along the fine ridge to the summit of Beda Head, the summit of Beda Fell.

From Beda Head the path continues to descend along the wonderful ridge to Winter Crag and the path down to Winter Crag Farm.

The old church of St Martins is well worth a visit as we pass, a beautiful small church in a glorious location in the Martindale Valley.

From here it is a short walk back along the lane to the newer church of St Peters and our start point.

Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above.

Question:

What happens if the weather is bad?

Answers:

Posted by John Scadding on Thursday, 12 October 2017
We plan to walk whatever the weather, unless it is dangerous to do so.

Mountain weather can be a little unpredictable, but we do keep an eye on the forecasts leading up to walks, should the forecast mean that the walk is not possible then we will contact you as soon as we have the forecast and offer you the following options:
- A more suitable walk on the same date taking into consideration the weather conditions
- A transfer to the same walk on another date
- A full refund

Question:

Are dogs allowed on this walk?

Answers:

Posted by John Scadding on Friday, 22 September 2017

Yes, dogs are allowed on all our walks.

However we do cross farmland and common land where animals will be grazing, there will be large sections of the walk, if not all, where dogs will be required to be on a lead.
