A Most Beautiful Place

We took a (LONG!) trip to Wastwater, in the Lakes last weekend. Despite the 200 mile round trip, this place is stunning! Not surprised it won ITV's "Britain's Favourite View"! Due to the length of the journey, we only managed an hours walk. Next time it will be a stopover somewhere on route.

We decided to take the "scenic" route on the way there, going via Windermere and the Langdales. This is an amazing route through, eventually taking us across Hardknott Pass. This isn't a journey for the faint hearted, as the road climbs a 30% gradient and switchbacks all over the place, but it is most definitely worth it. The views are stunning!
