The heart of the Lakes - High Seat and Ullscarf |
||
 Find Public Transport
|
||
| This route heads right through the heart of the Lakes. Starting from Keswick, you climb onto a ridge running north to south across many of the Central Fells - Bleaberry Fell, High Seat and Ullscarf. You then drop down into Grasmere (which has regular buses to Keswick). The route is ideal for peak-spotters - you traipse past the 'back' of the Hellvellyn group (i.e. the side no one ever goes up) and several of the Western Fells are also visible on clear days. Beware - it gets boggy on top. | ||
