High Cup Nick
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Absolutely stunning walk. Started from Dufton as advised by other reviewers and it was pretty easy to make the way up from there, especially as a solo walker. Would definitely do again as apparently there’s amazing rock formations and other sections I had to miss due to arriving too late in the day.

National Trust - The Langdales

👍 Three stars for the coffee and sorroundings. No stars for the meal selection. We have stayed in Langdale twice in the past few weeks and started using the hotels for meals as Sticklbarn, since being taken over for the national trust, no longer caters for walkers appetites. I think the menu is cate...

👍👍 A terrace with a wonderful view of Coniston and offering equally good food making it one of the best places in the lakes for lunch. If the weather is inclement (or it’s busy) there is also good seating inside. We very much enjoyed the pork burgers on ciabatta with very crispy skin on fries. The smoo...
