Ah yes, the Kirkstone Pass, the highest pass in the Lake District at 454m – and there at the top is the welcome sight of the Kirkstone Pass Inn ~ where yesterday the log fire was so welcome and the pumpkin soup was just wonderful!

Up from Troutbeck and down to Ullswater ~ stunning!

It was Wordsworth who said about the Kirkstone Pass: “Who comes not hither ne’er shall know, how beautiful the world below…” So so true!
