Day 3: Borrowdale - Thirlmere at Borrowdale

Tucked secretively away above Borrowdale, the hamlet of Watendlath is the first target of the third day. Its pleasant setting will fortify you for the crossing of the Armboth Fells. At a moderate altitude these fells tend to get slightly overlooked which is a pity as the offer fine walking and unrestricted views before leading to the Kings Head at Thirlspot.

Before setting off please make sure you plot the suggested route on OS maps and pack a compass. They are essential for a safe, enjoyable day in the hills!
