![Ard Crags and Knott Rigg Circular Ard Crags and Knott Rigg Circular](https://www.visorando.com/images/thumbnail/t-aikin-knott-and-ard-crags-visorando-245515.jpg)
On this circular walk you will be rewarded with a lovely ascent up the small but beautiful Ard Crags, followed by an undulating ridge to Knott Rigg. The descent from Knott Rigg keeps to the top of a second ridge with good views ahead. The last section takes in farmland paths and tracks before joining the road.

An interesting low level walk with the opportunity to explore old mine workings as an option. The walk takes in farmland paths and tracks and ventures above the fell wall to the dam and reservoir built by the miners. Even if you choose not to venture into the mine tunnels finding the entrances is mini adventure. Newlands Church is lovely and adds further interest to the walk.

Birks, St. Sunday's, and return via Grisedale
This is a companion route to Birks, St. Sunday, Cofa Pike, Fairfield, Hart Crag & return via Dovedale as it offers a safe way off the mountain should you need a plan B or if you want a walk with less ascent. It is still a great walk in its own right and the descent of Grisedale is a nice contrast to the ascent of St Sunday Crag.
Lanty's Tarn
![Lanty's Tarn Lanty's Tarn](https://www.visorando.com/images/thumbnail/t-helvellyn-group-from-keldas-visorando-212623.jpg)
This is a short, low level walk that can fill a couple of hours. Good if you are short on time or if it has been raining most of the day and has cleared up in the late afternoon. Nice views over the lake and interesting scenery.

![Birks, St. Sunday, Cofa Pike, Fairfield, Hart Crag & return via Dovedale. Birks, St. Sunday, Cofa Pike, Fairfield, Hart Crag & return via Dovedale.](https://www.visorando.com/images/thumbnail/t-st-sunday-crag-visorando-212599.jpg)

![Angletarn Pikes, The Knott, High Street and Threshwaite Cove; Circular Angletarn Pikes, The Knott, High Street and Threshwaite Cove; Circular](https://www.visorando.com/images/thumbnail/t-angletarn-visorando-212569.jpg)
A circular walk from Patterdale which ascends gradually to take in the great views from Angletarn Pikes and The Knott before passing over the Straits of Riggingdale to High Street and The Beacon at Thornwaite Crag. It then descends Threshwaite Cove to Hartsop and a return to Patterdale.
Around High Spy, Maiden Moor and Cat Bells
![Around High Spy, Maiden Moor and Cat Bells Around High Spy, Maiden Moor and Cat Bells](https://www.visorando.com/images/thumbnail/t-early-morning-view-of-upper-borrowdale-visorando-288393.jpg)
This is a circular walk around High Spy, Maiden Moor and Cat Bells. The scenery is good and the walk is made interesting by the old mine workings, both on the way up and also at Goldscope Mine. The return leg, through the woods above Derwent Water, is a nice contrast to the first half of the walk.
It is a useful walk when the tops are in mist and walking the ridge would give you no views or when the tops are covered in snow and you don't have ice axe and crampons to hand.
Around Castle Crag
![Around Castle Crag Around Castle Crag](https://www.visorando.com/images/thumbnail/t-castle-crag-visorando-310185.jpg)
This is a circular walk that is useful for a day, perhaps when it has been raining and then cleared up a little, but the high fells are still shrouded in cloud. There is enough changing scenery to maintain interest, with Millican Dalton's cave, farmland scenery and the summit of Castle Crag. There are also opportunities for refreshment stops along the way if needed. A nice walk for the whole family.
Crinkle Crags
Crinkle Crags summits lie facing the summits of Langdale Fell separated by Mickleden Beck River valley.
Langdale Pikes
A hike to four summits discovering a wide range of this part of the Nation Park Lake District. The Park Lake District trails aren't waymarked. There are very few signs but the pathway is straightforward as there aren't many crossings. It is, however, preferable not to leave the trail, especially in foggy weather.
Great Gable and Green Gable
To the west of the Cumbrian Mountains, both Great and Green Gable summits offer a pleasant hike.
Lower Western fells
A walk taking in four Wainwright summits, with views of 4 lakes and the skyline of the High Western fells. The walk can be taken either clockwise or anticlockwise.
Langdale Valley Bottom circular
A short, and mainly flat, walk which circumnavigates the bottom of the Langdale valley. Good for half a day or when the tops are clagged in. It passes both of the Dungeon Ghyll hotels where refreshments are available.
