The Complete Kentmere Horseshoe: All 8 Wainwrights on One Hike

8 WAINWRIGHT summits in THE LAKE DISTRICT makes this a MUST DO hiking experience! 👉 See more Lake District walks in the SOUTHERN FELLS    • The Lake District: Far Eastern Fells   My Amazon store: https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/influen... We start this walk at St.Cuthbert’s church in the village of Kentmere. Heading off down the road we soon turn up Garburn Pass. This long and winding pass takes us on a gentle ascent and steady path until we turn off to reach our first Wainwright, Yoke. This is steady incline which becomes sharper before we reach the crest. From Yoke we soon reach the double cairns of Ill Bell only a short walk away. Continuing the journey to Froswick we carry on along the ridge before a steeper down and up and a slight detour to Thornthwaite Crag. After collecting 4 Wainwrights on the left side of the valley, we travel over to the opposite ridge rejoining the Kentmere horseshoe. Mardale Ill Bell is our 5th Wainwright and from here we take a last steep descent and climb of the day to Harter Fell with its messy cairn of twisted metal. The rest of the walk is relatively gently and grassy over to Kentmere Pike and an easy path carries on to our 8th and final Wainwright of the day, Shipman Knotts. This is one of the lake districts longer horseshoes but doable in a day and a great trek out and a must do walk for those bagging Wainwrights. Route map: https://explore.osmaps.com/route/2189...
