Waterfalls
The Lake District is blessed with a number of spectacular waterfalls, and many of them are fairly easy to access.
St Bees Head Heritage Coast
St. Bees is the only heritage coast between Anglesey and the Scottish border, indeed, it is the only sea cliff in all that area. The cliffs are dramatic, composed of striking red sandstone some 300 feet high, and affording excellent views north to Scotland and across to the Isle of Man.
Whinlatter is the northernmost road pass in the Lake District. The northeast end of the pass begins at Braithwaite and climbs to an altitude of 1040 feet before descending to the village of High Lorton. There are laybys on the road giving superb views over Bassenthwaite Lake to the Skiddaw range.

One of the most scenic - and least visited - places in the Lake District, Wrynose Pass lies between Little Langdale and the Duddon valleys. A narrow, winding road twists and winds as it climbs to the summit, reaching 1281 feet in the process. The view from the top of the pass is superb, one of the best in the Lake District.
