Pillar

A classic Lake District ridge walk, Pillar is also known as the Mosedale Horseshoe is the high cirque of mountains above the Wasdale Head Inn. A great ridge walk with wonderful views over the Western Fells. Let our professionally qualified mountain leaders take the strain and give you a great day out in the fells. |

Will Ritson (1808-1890) was a landlord of the Wastwater Hotel (now called the Wasdale Head Inn) in Wasdale, and he told grand fables. One, for example, was about a wounded eagle he found near the inn. He kept it in his chicken coop and nursed it back to health. One night the coop was raided by a bitch hound. The eagle was unscathed, but five months later the dog gave birth to a litter of winged hounds. The World's Biggest Liar competition is held annually in memory of him. |
