This hiking tour starts at the THREE SHIRES INN at Little Langdale and takes you on a round trip into Great Langdale to Elter Water. On the way you will get beautiful views along the way, and you will visit Colwith Force, the falls of river Brathay in Great Langdale. It's not as spectacular as reaching the summit of one of the surrounding lakeland fells, but it's a nice alternative for days with cloudy weather.
As an additional highlight, you will cross the old Slater Bridge at Little Langdale!
Parking in Little Langdale is rather restricted. If you do not have lodging at the THREE SHIRES INN, I would suggest to go to one of the bigger National Trust parking lots in Great Langdale.
Refreshments are available at several inns and hotels on the way.
