No visit to the area would be complete without a visit to Wasdale, the wildest of the valleys in the Lake District and has some of the most stunning and dramatic scenery in the region. The valley is a walkers paradise with some of the biggest and most spectacular mountains in the Lake District such as Scafell Pike, Great Gable, Pillar and Kirk Fell. Or for a more gentle stroll there are many low level lakeside and woodland walks to explore. Equally as impressive on a dull or stormy day as on a hot summers day the views change with the seasons and the weather.
Wasdale is approximately 11 miles from Muncaster.
For Sat Nav follow CA20 1EX - this will take you right to the far end of the valley.
