"There is a haunting attractiveness about these far-flung rolling expanses."

A.Wainwright

The main High Street ridge reaches it's final summit at Loadpot Hill, north from here the land descends, gently, towards Penrith and the Eden. This broad grassy summit is the final high ground of the High Street Roman Road. A lower ridge does continue to the north west, above Ullswater, but this is a separate ridge.

To the north of Loadpot Hill the gentle slopes have much of interest, standing stones and stone circles can be found here amongst the bracken, some easier to locate than others, the most notable of these ancient monuments is The Cockpit, above Pooley Bridge.

The remains of Lowther House can still be made out, just to the south of the summit, all that remains of this shooting lodge is the remains of the chimney stack.

Testimonials

Rating:

Really grateful again for excellent guiding in beautiful places . I did the Welsh Walking Weekend in quite good weather (for Wales!... meaning winds up to 80mph precluded Crib Goch(definitely a good call! ) ). Rob, our guide was kind, thoughtful and encouraging to all the group and his confidence was such that I felt able to play and free range on the scrambly bits of Tryfan and the Snowdon Horseshoe whilst feeling safe (a perfect scenario ) Ellen's assistance on the Tryfan day was an added bonus. I have been so impressed by this company ..thank you . Clare
