    Tips

    March 7, 2023

    Hiking

    The Wrynose Pass connects Little Langdale with the Duddon and provides hillwalkers with a high start point for the surrounding Wainwrights. To the south, the Coniston Group can be easily accessed, while Pike o' Blisco and Cold Pike are just as easily claimed to the north. There's quite a bit of parking along the road though it can get very busy in the height of summer.

    Hiking

    The Three Shires Stone at the top of Wrynose Pass is the meeting point of the former counties of Lancashire, Cumberland and Westmorland.
    Now most people pass over en-route elsewhere. The road to east and west is single track with a few passing places. There is a small amount of parking here.
    Walkers often ascend up to Red Tarn to the north from here or south onto the Coniston fells.
