Rock Climbing
“the birthplace of rock climbing”
Langdale is one of the numerous places that claims to be ‘the birthplace of rock climbing’, and has an abundance of great crags and routes for all abilities. The valley is a major hub for Lakeland climbing.
Ranging from classic diffs such as Middlefell Buttress, to E8 Dawes Rides the Shovelhead and beyond, as well as many three star routes on crags like Scout Crag and Gimmer Crag, classic mountain routes such as Bowfell Buttress and a fair scattering of winter routes should conditions prevail, there’s something for everyone.
Summit Treks and Climb365 are good options for guided climbing, as well as instruction, in the local area. Alternatively, check out Climber Magazine’s suggestions for top routes in the Langdale Valley.
We are absolutely loving these bright early mornings in the valley

It’s not every day that Gandalf, Frodo and friends turn up in Elterwater, but this fellowship brought plenty of laughter and fun to the Hostel this past weekend.
Walking the Cumbria Way in full costume, they joined us for a well earned evening of food, drinks and laughter, and a good rest!
Those costumes also got a much needed airing in the drying room 🤣

Sunny Sunday of jobs in the garden to keep things looking lovely! Lawns were mowed, picnic benches repaired, and a Bluebird from @conistonbrewco was definitely earned!

We’re delighted to share that we have again received the Travellers’ Choice award from @tripadvisor !
A big thank you to all our guests and everyone who’s left us a review this year!
Summer season is well and truly upon us, but there’s still plenty of availability if you still haven’t booked your next stay!

A cup of tea, a misty morning, and this glorious old tree!

One of our favourite views, but we’ll give the bench a miss for now 🤦♂️

A moment of calm, water under the bridge, Elterwater.

These lovely ladies stayed with us as part of their 3 Day Cumbria Way attempt. Cracking weather for it!
