Wasdale Head Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

On the way back down after we had climbed Scafell Pike we took this beautiful route to Wasdale Head and Wastwater.  Nothing makes you feel quite so insignificant as being in this vast landscape.  Can't emphasise enough, even though pathways are well marked please don't forget that it's still climbing a mountain!  Go prepared with plenty of layers and the right kit, and don't be the reason that mountain rescue have to risk their own lives to save yours. #LakeDistrict #England #TakeAHike #NationalPark

It's a view which never disappoints - Wasdale Head in the #lakedistrict.
The view of Wastwater in the Lake District. It is England's deepest lake and is surrounded by mountains like Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain.
