Around Hayeswater and Angle Tarn From Hartsop
Introduction to Walk 3388
Nat Park - Lake District - Far Eastern Fells
County/Area - Cumbria
Author - Stephen Starkey
Length - 11.5 miles / 18.7 km
Ascent - 3260 feet / 988 metres
Grade - mod/hard
This Lake District circuit is a challenging route and includes some fine walking, some tarns, plus a summit or two! The weather on this occasion was poor hence the lack of photos and I only met 4 people and a dog. In fine weather this is some of finest country in the far eastern lakeland fells. The views west are superb with Helvellyn and many other peaks filling the horizon. A GPX File is available for download (see walk description).
