Supplied by our own Brewery and Distillery, our pubs are where comfort meets adventure. The Strands Hotel has filled the role of the village hotel since the late 1700's and has hosted distinguished guests that included well known lakes artists, poets and writers, two bishops and in 1883 Prime Minister Willian Ewert Gladstone. The Screes Inn has featured as the village pub since the late 1700's and the walls hold memories of many a fun filled night !
Nestled in the Western Lake District, Nether Wasdale is a popular starting point for climbing Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain.
The most direct route up Scafell Pike from Wasdale is approximately 3.5 miles and is considered a challenging hike. It's crucial to be prepared for varying weather conditions, proper footwear, and navigation skills when attempting this climb.
A map and compass are vital, as is appropriate footwear, warm and waterproof clothing, and sufficient food and water. It's recommended to climb with others, inform someone of your route and estimated return time, and be aware of your own limits. The round trip from Wasdale to Scafell Pike and back can take anywhere from 3 to 5 hours.
