High Street from Hartsop

 

Difficulty : ModerateDuration : 4.5 HrsDistance : 13 Km

 
High Street is without doubt one of the strangest names for a lakeland mountain, however there is a reason for this perculiarity and the Hayeswater Horseshoe walk from the beautiful village of Hartsop is a great day out. After a gentle and then steep but short climb this walk is basically then a gentle ridge walk taking in several Wainwrights along the way including High Street which is a wide and flat summit. You'll also walk part of the old roman road that gives the mountain its perculiar name. Aswell as the fantastic views across the eastern fells and lakes you'll also see the impressive Thornthwaite Crag Beacon cairn. Hartsop is a quiet and quant village and this part of the fells is often much quieter than most of the honeypots of the western fells, making it ideal for those wanting a bit of solitude.
