Welcome to Langstrath Gill

Langstrath Gill is a picturesque valley located in the heart of the Lake District National Park in Cumbria. The valley is surrounded by towering mountains and is home to a number of beautiful waterfalls, including the impressive Langstrath Force. The area is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers, with a number of well-marked trails leading through the valley and up into the surrounding hills. Langstrath Gill is also home to a variety of wildlife, including red deer, otters, and a number of bird species.

One of the most popular hikes in Langstrath Gill is the walk up to the summit of Eagle Crag. The trail starts at the Stonethwaite car park and follows the river upstream, passing through beautiful woodland and past several waterfalls before reaching the base of the crag. From here, the trail becomes steeper and more challenging, but the views from the summit are well worth the effort. On a clear day, hikers can see for miles across the surrounding hills and valleys.

Langstrath Gill is also home to a number of historic sites, including the remains of several old mine workings. The area was once a hub of industry, with lead and copper mines operating in the valley for many years. Today, visitors can explore the ruins of these old mines and learn about the history of the area. The valley is also home to a number of traditional Lakeland farms, many of which have been in the same family for generations. These farms are an important part of the local community and offer visitors a glimpse into the traditional way of life in the Lake District.
