| Nat Park | Lake District | | County/Area | Cumbria | | Author | Lou Johnson | | Length | 5.5 miles / 8.9 km | | Ascent | 1700 feet / 515 metres | | Grade | moderate |
Haystacks was Wainwright's favourite Lake District fell and this walk from Honister Pass is excellent. Offering the feel of Lakeland mountains without too much effort this route is full of interest and Wainwright's choice soon becomes obvious. The route includes some interesting industrial archaeology passing the old slate quarries in the area.
