Route Map
Absolutely the connoisseurs way up to
Wetherlam, this walk is a full Lakeland in miniature with steep, rocky
ascents, grassy paths, tarns, rivers and two edges - Steel Edge and
Wetherlam Edge. Steel Edge is quite steep but a real joy to walk up and
once on Wetherlam itself there are great views of the Coniston fells,
Coniston Water, over to the Langdales and beyond.
