Wasdale Campsite, Wasdale Head, Seascale, Cumbria
 (голосов: 0)
Wasdale Campsite, Wasdale Head, Seascale, CumbriaEngland’s highest mountains may not be on the scale of the Alps or the Himalayas, but they are majestic in their own understated way. They also have the advantage of being readily accessible and, in most seasons, relatively easy to conquer with the help of a pair of decent walking boots, clement weather, and a thermos of hot tea.

Several of the country’s highest mountains are clustered around the northern end ofWastwater in the Lakes, where the National Trust thoughtfully sited a camping ground at Wasdale Head. From here, you can lie in a sleeping bag, head poking out of your tent and, as the dawn mists clear, survey the encircling slopes to plan your assault on them. Wasdale Head is a handy base for England’s tallest mountain, Scafell Pike. Here you’ll find the start of a steep, but straightforward ascent up the rock-strewn mountain. While back at basecamp, there’s a small shop for walking maps, friendly advice, and plasters. Three small fields scattered with trees provide plenty of flat grass for pitching, and with cars restricted to the parking areas it’s a peaceful site. A high point on England’s campsite circuit.

COOL FACTOR Wilderness location with breathtaking views of the high fells.

WHO'S IN? Tents, campervans, dogs (on leads at all times) - yes. Caravans, groups - no.
