Great Langdale - A walk from Chapel Stile to Blea Tarn

Thursday 18th May 2017

Walking Diary (All Walks) Lakeland Easy Walks Southern

A superb walk from Chapel Stile (our Hotel in fact) along the Great Langdale valley to firstly the New Dungeon Ghyll and the Stables bar - followed by the Old Dungeon Ghyll pub - a glorious day with the added treat of a walk round the most picturesque Blea Tarn. Another cheeky drink back at the ODG before catching the bus back down the valley to our starting point in Chapel Stile. The visit to Blea Tarn wasn't planned and can be a bit tiring - but my wife was keen, so who am I to argue.

A wonderful days walk, in possibly the most beautiful part of the lakes.

Coffee & fuel - we're on our way !

The start of the very flat (but beautiful) walk down Great Langdale.

From the ODG - You can see Crinkle Crags and Bowfell with The Band in the foreground

Pike of Blisco can now be seen on the left

You did say you wanted to go up to Blea Tarn - The easy option was to stay in the beer garden !

Looking back down towards the Langdale Pikes

Blea Tarn

After walking round the tarn we headed back to the ODG

What a beautiful sight - with views of Mickleden and Rosset Pike in the distance

Back where we belong ! Hope the bus isn't coming soon

Cheers !
