Route Description for Hartsop & Angletarn Pikes Circular Walk
Walking the Hartsop & Angletarn Pikes Circular is a tough, but rewarding activity that is popular in the eastern part of the Lake District because of the scenic views and good variety of terrain. This route sets out near the village of Hartsop and heads to the east along Hayeswater Gill before arriving at the edge of the Lake of the same name. From here, you will turn more to the north and begin to climb uphill before turning to the northwest. Here, you will descend slightly towards the shores of Angle Tarn, with stunning views of the surrounding fells in every direction. After enjoying the peaceful lakeside atmosphere, you will make a short summit along the rocky terrain of Angletarn Pikes before returning back to the main trail and continuing on to the northwest.
