Langdale Pikes from Chapel Stile

 

Difficulty : HardDuration : 6.5 HrsDistance : 15 Km

 
The five Langdale Pikes consist of, from west to east, Pike Of Stickle, Loft Crag, Thorn Crag, Harrison Stickle and Pavey Ark. Each has its own characteristics and is in its own right a mountain. They do seem to be made from one huge original mountain due to there shape and close proximity. Not only are the Langdale Pikes by far the most recognisable and impressive examples of Lake District igneous rock, but they also overlook one of the nations favourite views, the Langdale Valley. Langdale can be over popular during peak times but don't let this put you off. The walk itself starts in the lovely village of Chapel Stile at one end of the valley and then follows the Blea Rigg ridge on the north side of the valley until it reaches the above Stickle Tarn. After bagging the pikes and taking in the views the descent and then valley walk back to Chapel Stile will entail resisting the urge to enter some of the best outdoors pubs in Britain including the Old Dungeon Ghyll.
