Great Langdale Campsite
Camping in one of the most beautiful areas of the Lake District.
This place is unique. The mountains are all around and there is a sense of tranquility. Great Langdale is beautiful and there is plenty of walking to be done. A friend and I stayed there for six days and made the most of the natural beauty that has been carved into the landscape from the last ice-age.
We walked to the peak adjacent to the campsite, which has incredible views for 360 degrees. Nearby Lake Windermere had plenty to offer (I have been there many times but for my friend it was his first time) and we spent two hours kayaking and exploring the waters. Also Grizedale Forest is close by with much to do and see and some of the best experiences we had we spent simply making the most of the great outdoors...oh, and drinking and eating in the local pubs after a hard day's hiking.
We didn't want to leave and could have easily spent another few days there just trekking along all the walks that are in the general area.
It rained heavily every single night and the tent was almost flooded on two occasions but as soon as the sun crept over the tops of the moutains, everything dried out within an hour; the skies were blue and everybody was happy...perfect.
