The Fairfield Horseshoe is a great day out for everyone, although a long walk the pace is steady allowing time to bask in the glory of this stunning part of the Lakes.
The start up Nab Scar from Ambleside is hard and steep but once on the ridge it's relatively easy going.
There is plenty of time to take in the wonderful views of amongst others Helvellyn & Striding Edge, Windermere, Morcambe Bay and the Langdale Pikes.
Our instructors have a detailed knowledge of the Fairfield area so why not join in one of our guided walks.

| The Route: |
A long but easy walk will then lead along the ridge to the summit of Fairfield.
We will continue along the ridge to Hart Crag and Dove Crag before the long descent over High Pike and Low Pike before descending to High Sweden Bridge and the track back into Ambleside.
Although this is one of our longer routes after the first steep climb it is a fairly easy ridge walk, although long. We do however take it gently, we have all day to complete the walk!
