The very best of the Langdale Pikes
James Forrest explores the very best of the Langdale Pikes in a long – but glorious – day of hiking.
The Howgill Fells
Drive along the M6 motorway between Carlisle and Lancaster and a magnificent mountain range will rise before you. Fells such as Great Gable, Helvellyn, The Langdale Pikes and Scafell Pike will entice you in with their rugged charm. Not far from the Lake District and visible from the same stretch of Motorway lies a small mound of hills. Names such as Winder, Brant Fell and The Calf do not capture the imagination like their loftier neighbours. Having said that, The Howgill Fells are beautiful in their own right and well worth a visit.
