The langdale Pikes.
Start national Trust Car Park at Dungeon Ghyll Hotel (LA22 9JX)
Summary.
This walk explores one of Lakeland’s most well-known mountain landmarks – the Langdale Pikes. These hills are justifiably well-walked: their cliffs, craggy buttresses and river-gorges give them the feel of much bigger mountains, and the views from their summits are superb in clear weather. However, they are considerably higher than the fells covered in other walks of this series, and some sections are rocky and steep; this route is suitable for fit, experienced and well-equipped walkers with a degree of sure-footedness, who are able to accurately navigate with map and compass, should the weather turn.
