Embark on a challenging journey through the Lake District with the Scafell Pike and Bowfell Loop from Great Langdale. This difficult hiking route spans 12.0 miles (19.4 km), demanding a significant 3501 feet (1067 metres) of elevation gain over an estimated 7 hours and 17 minutes. You will traverse dramatic landscapes, encountering rugged terrain and expansive views across valleys like Oxendale and Eskdale, with the serene Angle Tarn nestled below imposing fells providing a moment of calm.
Planning your visit requires careful consideration, as this is a strenuous and physically demanding hike not suited for beginners. Ensure you have good fitness levels and strong navigational skills, especially since the route can be difficult to follow in poor weather conditions. The hike typically begins from the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel in Great Langdale, which offers convenient amenities at both the start and end of your adventure.
This loop offers spectacular mountain scenery, leading you to England's highest peak, Scafell Pike, and the prominent Bowfell. It is designed for experienced hikers seeking a full day out in the mountains, providing a true test of endurance and a deep immersion into the wild beauty of the Lake District National Park.
