The view from the eastern shore of Windermere between Windermere and Ambleside is dominated by the distant skyline of jagged rocky mountains to the East, these are the Langdales or Langdale Pikes.

This is one of the most famous views in the Lake District.

Let our guides take you over a well tried route taking in the best parts of these fells with spectacular views back down the Langdale Valley back towards Windermere.

The Route:
From the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel we will climb by Stickle Gill to Stickle Tarn, here there are wonderful views up to Pavey Ark, the cliffs above the tarn. Here we will circle the tarn and climb onto Pavey Ark.

An easy path now leads to the summit of Harrison Stickle, the most prominent of the Langdale Pikes.

We will then cross Harrison Combe to climb the rocky scramble to the summit of Pike O'Stickle, before descending over Loft Crag back to the New Dungeon Ghyll.

From all the summits we will have great views on a good day over the Langdale Valley to Windermere and across to Bowfell, the Crinkles and the Coniston Fells.

Directions:
From Ambleside: Leave on the A593, signposted to Langdale and Coniston, follow this road until the junction with Ellers Brow, turn right onto Ellers Brow, signposted to Chapel Stile and Langdale.

Follow this road through the village of Chapel Stile and continue until the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel is Seen up a lane to the right.
