★★★★☆   Beach & outdoors

What it costs a family of four

Free

No admission charge for anyone. Parking or transport may still cost.

What to know

FREE. The highest mountain in England at 978m, and six to seven hours return from Wasdale Head. THE SUMMIT IS A BOULDER FIELD AND NAVIGATION OFF IT IN CLOUD IS GENUINELY HARD - mountain rescue is called out here constantly, usually to people in trainers with a phone for a map. Carry a paper map and warm layers whatever the valley weather.

When to go

The planner warns of wet in January, October, November, December. Outside those months it says nothing, which is the point — a warning that fires every day is one nobody reads.
