Brothers Water

Highlight • Viewpoint

Tucked quietly between the Eastern and Far Eastern Fells of the Lake District, at the northern foot of the Kirkstone Pass, is Brothers Water. This small lake is surrounded by green Wainwright fells, grazing herdwicks and simply gorgeous scenery.

Nearby Sykeside has a variety of accommodation options, whilst refreshment awaits at the Brotherswater Inn. The small village of Hartsop is also a good base for many adventurous hikes in the fells.

Shoreline of Brothers Water

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is a footpath on both sides of Brothers Water & you can access the shoreline on both, but the west shore is where the main path is and has the best access. Here, you can access the beautiful shoreline from the main path, walk along, and then back to the path. It is possible to climb up the bank back to the main path in places, but this is more technical and is not an official path.

Angle Tarn

Highlight • Lake

The trail winds around half of Angle Tarn with splendid views from many different perspectives. I recommend walking this on a clear day as then the color of the water is a deep blue, out of this world, and the wind adds sparkling highlights to it.

September 7, 2024,Angletarn Pikes – Angle Tarn loop from Patterdale

Didn't start at Patterdale (car parking a total war zone!) and didnt quite get to the Tarns as I got distracted talking to another walker and missed the path up there until well past 🙄🤭. Today was only a warm up anyway 😉
