Wasdale

Few places in the Lake District have views to compete with those on offer from the summit of Pillar. This classic route is not to be overlooked on a visit to Wasdale.

Discover the quieter side of the western fells, with a hidden mountain tarn and superb views over the Wasdale screes and fells.

Wasdale is where you'll find England’s highest mountain, its deepest lake and a beautiful, natural environment. Over a quarter of a million people visit this remote valley in the west of the Lake District National Park - now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. That's why we're building new toilets at Wasdale Head car park.

When counting sheep actually keeps you awake!

The West Lakes is celebrating the completion and commission of the first of its three hydro projects.

Wasdale Campsite is spectacularly located at the foot of England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike and a stone's throw from England's deepest lake Wastwater. With electric hook ups for campervans and tents, cosy pods and recently refurbished facilities, this campsite is a perfect place to rest weary limbs after big days out on Lakeland’s highest fells.

In a peaceful location behind a former artist's studio in Wasdale, this sturdy stone cottage is just yards from the south-western end of Wastwater, England’s deepest lake. The cottage enjoys excellent lake shore walks.

This charming, early 19th century, semi-detached cottage is on a working fell side farm with breathtaking views of Wastwater and Wasdale screes. It is ideal for active families with England’s deepest lake and highest mountain on the doorstep.
