Description
A walk into a wonderfully wild mountain world passing one of Lakeland’s most spectacular waterfalls and two of its most sublime mountain tarns. There is a short scrambly section to pass the waterfall but the rest of the route is over much travelled stony paths. Leave Seathwaite and ascend to Styhead Tarn to climb once again to pass Sprinkling Tarn. Beyond the tarn fork left, under the shadow of Great End, and make descent by Grains Gill before crossing Stockley Bridge to return along the track to Seathwaite.
