Borrowdale

Borrowdale is a valley and civil parish in the Borough of Allerdale in Cumbria,  It lies within the historic county boundaries of Cumberland.

Most of the mountains at the head of Borrowdale, including Scafell Pike and Great Gable, are part of the Borrowdale Volcanic Group, a geological development from the Ordovician period.

This walk starts from the foot of the Honister Pass at Seatoller, taking in views across the valley and Castle Crag then onwards to Lodore Falls at the head of Derwent Water.
