An easy walk for your first day in Langdale. The walk starts at the National Trust Car Park. From the car park follow the road to Bleatarn House and take the track opposite to ascend to Lingmoor fell. The ascent gives wonderful views of Crinckle Crags and Bowfell. The descent follows the ridge down to Side Pike, giving fine views of the Langdale Pikes. Then the route continues back to your start...
Classic winter sunshine and snow give an alpine quality to this walk.The soft, fresh and occasionally deep snow slowed the pace which meant we didn't travel as fast ... but there's no rush to go anywhere fast with views like this.Full pictures and report @ http://www.loweswatercam.co.uk/091224_Christmas_Eve_on_Hen_Comb.htm

Within the ring is a rectangle of a further 10 standing stones. The tallest stone is 2.3 metres high....
Good day walk if you want to be on a high ridge for several hours. With this being a linear walk you either need 2 cars or use the bus service. The bus from Pooley Bridge down to Patterdale is the 108 which runs every 2 hours. The ridge is a wide grassy ridge that follows the line of the old Roman road called High Street which ran between Ambleside and Penrith...
