At the head of Haweswater, the road comes to an abrupt end. In this remote corner of Lakeland, nature’s wares are laid out in perfect harmony. Those who love wander in these wild and craggy places cannot fail to find here a variety of scenery to suit their taste. The classic sculpturing of Blea Water corrie contrasts sharply with the lonely, pathless fells to the east of Haweswater. The mountain pass of Nan Bield, linking Mardale and Kentmere, is the most captivating in Lakeland. This sentinel stands guard over Blea Water’s smaller, but no less delightful neighbour, Small Water. As well as the suggested 11 mile linear route (with 2531ft of ascent) to Bampton Grange via Harter Fell and Swindale Common, this area offers endless opportunities for the lower level walker to walk to Bampton Grange.
