The mountains around Langdale are some of the most interesting in the Lake District. Visually appealing and full of history, they make a compelling place to walk. Pike of Stickle, one of the first peaks on this route, is generally considered to be the site of a Neolithic axe quarry. Its stone axe heads have been found across the UK.
