Photos and Description of this West Lakes & Cumbrian Coast holiday cottage

Row Head Farm with Middle Row Cottage is the last farm at the top of Wasdale before the road runs out. The farm, owned by the National Trust, is a traditional working farm with a flock of Herdwick sheep. The cottage was once a farm workers cottage and has recently been renovated and modernised to make it a warm and comfortable place to stay for up to six people. Wasdale itself is a valley of extremes. It boasts England's deepest lake (Wastwater), highest mountain (Scafell), smallest church (St Olaf's) & the world’s biggest liar competition (each Nov, in the Santon Bridge Inn). It is the birthplace of British climbing, with excellent climbs of all grades, and a playground for local diving clubs. Wastwater Lake is a couple of miles away from the farm, with many good swimming and picnic spots. There are three pubs in the valley - Wasdale Head Inn at the top of the lake (a twenty minute walk away), and the Screes & the Strands (five miles) face each other on the way to Gosforth.

Wasdale, along with Borrowdale and Langdale is one of the big three mountain valleys of the Lake District, with some of its most dramatic scenery. Famously home to England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike and deepest lake, Wastwater, it is also one of the most tranquil parts of the National Park. Stretching 12 miles from Wasdale Head at the top of the valley down to the village of Gosforth, this is a place that has hardly changed for centuries. Colonised by Norse farmers in the 9th and 10th centuries, the valley bottom is a patchwork of fields from the time of the Vikings, leading to the lake and mountains that rear up to the sky. The Screes appear to climb straight out of the lake, rising to a height of almost 200 feet. On the other side of the valley are the great mountains of Yewbarrow, Seatallan, Kirk Fell, Great Gable, Green Gable and, biggest of them all, Scafell Pike. Wasdale offers some of the most memorable hiking and walking in the Lake District.

Further details for this holiday cottage rental in West Lakes & Cumbrian Coast, United Kingdom

There are lots of things to do on the lake. Sailing and motor-boats aren’t permitted but you are welcome to bring your own kayaks, canoes and rowing boats. There are plenty of picnic spots and beautiful places to swim or go for a paddle. Wastwater is a magnet for local divers. Look at the BSAC website for details and bookings.

Mountain bikes are not allowed on footpaths but are permitted on bridleways, of which there are many. The three most popular routes are Blacksail Pass, Styhead Pass and Burnmoor Tarn, but they are all for experienced riders only as they all involve steep climbing. As well as the deepest lake and highest mountain, Wasdale boast England’s smallest church, St Olaf’s, set amongst a small wood of yew trees. The roof beams are said to have come from Viking ships. The churchyard holds the graves of many climbers who died on the fells. There are three pubs in Wasdale. At the top of the valley, in the hamlet of Wasdale Head is the Wasdale Head Inn, the perfect place to relax with a pint of real ale made onsite at its own microbrewery. Its Above the Line service provides walking guides and routes tailored to your party’s needs. It was the birthplace of the world’s biggest liar competition, now held each November in the nearby Santon Bridge Inn.

Further down the valley, in Nether Wasdale, The Screes Inn offers real ales, a good selection of wines and food, including good vegetarian options. The Strands Hotel just opposite also serves real ales and food.
