Man has always held a fascination for mountains. If you're drawn to the magic of high peaks and awesome vistas, a climb up Harrison Stickle should be on your itinerary.

Harrison Stickle is an ideal place to begin your discovery of Ambleside. This steep landmass is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow time for other attractions like Scafell Pike, Grasmere Lake & Rydal Water, and Old Man of Coniston to fully experience what's on offer in the area.

Popular places to visit

Pike O' Stickle is the site of a Stone Age axe factory. Archaeologists have found discarded axe heads strewn on the scree which descends into the valley below. A kind of prehistoric rubbish dump for axe makers. Years ago people used the scree as a quick descent route to the valley floor. It's very much frowned upon nowadays and the scree is much depleted. I wonder how Stone Age man returned to the valley without walking boots to keep dry and safe.

And just look at the gorgeous views.
