Beautiful Wainwright Bagging!
The Fairfield Horseshoe is one continuous circuit from Ambleside and one of the Lake District's finest routes, offering great views over Cumbria's mountains and lakes.
There is a particular elegance in being able to climb a succession of peaks and taking advantage of high-level links to do it efficiently. This is the base theory behind most horseshoe walks and applying it has generated a huge number of superb routes.
Parking is limited, so please car share and arrive in good time to find a space.

Summits on Route:
Nab Scar - 455m
Heron Pike - 612m
Great Rigg - 766m
Fairfield - 873m
Hart Crag - 822m
Dove Crag - 792m
High Pike - 656m
Low Pike - 508m

We only regret the opportunities we don't take...
