This seven mile walk takes you from the door of the Three Shires Inn to Tarn Hows, one of the Lake District’s most popular beauty spots. It is mostly on good tracks and roads, but there are some boggy sections on Holme Fell. It can also be surprisingly easy to get lost on Holme Fell in the fog!

Long expeditions into the fells may become less appealing as the days become shorter, colder and wetter. However, in Little Langdale we are blessed with a relatively short, but spectacular, loop which you can begin right from the door of the Three Shires Inn.

This walk is a great way to familiarise yourself with our gorgeous little corner of the Lake District and work up an appetite (and a thirst) before dinner. It can take anything from an hour to two hours, depending on how long you dawdle, and is mainly on roads and good tracks. It can be very muddy on top of Little Fell though, so make sure you wear the right footwear.
