  • A walk along the floor of the Langdale Valley in the English Lake District, from New Dungeon Ghyll to Elterwater and back again along the valley floor. This stunning low level walk is ideal for families and those who do not wish to access the higher fells, with magnificent scenery all the way round.

      Hope you have a great time. Did you check out the walk from Blea Tarn to Side Pike? A bit of a scramble but stunning views all around.

    thanks so much, a very fun and informative video. Now I know a bit about the Microsoft screen saver that keeps popping on my computer.

      Thank you. It's always been one of my favourite walks. When I'm old and grey and can't get up the hills any more, I like to think I'll still be able to walk the Langdale Valley.

      Thank you. It is a lovely little walk for those days when time is a bit limited for getting on the higher fells. Cracking views without the need to climb.

      Glad you enjoyed it. Stickle Tarn is a great place for a swim. Despite the height, the water is often warmer than many of the lakes.

      Dates to the days before I knew how to put the animated maps up. Starts and ends at the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel and follows the route of the Cumbria Way for a mile before detouring right at Oak Howe to take the route through the woods to Elterwater. Just before Elterwater you could turn left to follow the sign for Chapel Stile.That takes you through the quarries and down to the river at Chapel Stile, but the video route continues on, coming into Elterwater from the narrow road just by the Eltermere Hotel (as was, I think it may have changed its name since). From Elterwater it follows the Cumbria Way back before crossing the river just before Oak Howe and taking the new path (well, nearly new path) to cut through to the old valley road, now a farm track, and back to the hotel.

      @@vikramodedra4351 April, May and June tend to be the driest months. April can sometimes be a bit cold if winter hangs on a bit, however, this year we have had a relatively mild winter, so it is likely to be warm. There will be new growth on the trees and lambs in the fields, plus by April everywhere is open, so you should have a great time.
