Pavey ArkOne of the most popular walks in the Langdales is the Langdale Pikes walk. This is a circular walk that starts and ends at the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel car park. The walk takes you up to four of the most iconic peaks in the area: Pike of Stickle, Harrison Stickle, Loft Crag, and Pavey Ark. The walk is about 6 miles long and takes about 4 hours to complete. It is a challenging walk that involves some steep ascents and descents, rocky paths, and scrambling. However, the views from the top are well worth the effort. You will be rewarded with panoramic views of the Langdale Valley, Lake Windermere, and beyond.

Blea TarnAnother great walk in the Langdales is the Blea Tarn walk. This is a shorter and easier walk that starts and ends at Blea Tarn car park. The walk is about 2 miles long and takes about an hour to complete. It is a gentle walk that follows a well-marked path around Blea Tarn, a beautiful mountain lake surrounded by pine trees and fells. The walk offers stunning views of the Langdale Pikes, especially on a clear day when they are reflected in the water. You can also extend your walk by following the path to Side Pike, a small but steep hill that offers more views of the valley.

Crinkle CragsA third option for walking in the Langdales is the Crinkle Crags walk. This is another circular walk that starts and ends at Three Shires Stone car park. The walk is about 8 miles long and takes about 5 hours to complete. It is a moderate walk that takes you up to Crinkle Crags, a series of rocky summits that form part of the high ridge between Great Langdale and Little Langdale. The walk also passes by Great Knott, Cold Pike, Red Tarn, and Pike o’ Blisco. The walk is varied and scenic, with views of many lakes and mountains in the Lake District.
