The first of my Rediscovered Walks in the Lake District, Crinkle Crags sits, along with its neighbour Bowfell, at the head of Langdale. This valley sits at the heart of the Lakes, and is easily accessible from Ambleside and Coniston. It is also home to the Old Dungeon Gill Hotel, which is possibly as iconic as Langdale and the fells which surround it. The fells themselves gain their fame due to their rocky scenery: Crinkle Crags certainly lives up to its name.
