Welcome to the Wasdale Head Inn

ROAD OPEN! The road between Santon Bridge and Nether Wasdale has re-opened. Currently the only road closure is between Holmrook and Santon Bridge via Irton. The usual routes into the Wasdale valley through Santon Bridge and Gosforth are open. Also, the works to replace the electricity cable to Wasdale Head have been suspended, so there are no delays on the road to Wasdale Head.

Welcome to the world-famous Wasdale Head Inn - the birthplace of climbing - dramatically surrounded by England's tallest mountains, making it the finest base for walking and climbing.

The Inn is situated at the head of remote and unspoiled Wasdale, and if you are seeking the superlative this is where you will find it. England's highest mountain, the deepest lake, the smallest Church, and the original world's biggest liar can all be found in this tranquil corner of the Lake District.

The Inn is managed by Adam Naylor and Jo Renfrew on behalf of the owners, Nigel and Lesley Burton.
