Itinerary description
Starting from the car park at the base of Honister Pass, follow the trail which starts a little further up the road. The trail goes off to the right, across farmland and into the valley of Warmscale Bottom.
Follow the path to the right of the Warnscale Beck, along the clearly marked rocky path until you reach the top, passing the Bothy - you’ll soon see Little Round How.
From here the path snakes to the right and in not too long you’ll reach Blackbeck Tarn. From here, continue along the path to Innominate Tarn and be sure to stop to take in the views!
From here it’s 250m to Haystacks! The views are so beautiful!
Then it’s a fun scramble down and whilst adventuring, you can see incredible views over the valley of Ashcrag Holme and the dense forest next to River Liza.
Continue on down the rocky trail back towards Buttermere Lake.
Keep walking until you meet a crossroads, from here take the path to the right and enjoy the lake views until you cross with the lake circuit path!
