Beautiful Wainwright Bagging!
The Fairfield Horseshoe is one continuous circuit from Ambleside and one of the Lake District's finest routes, offering great views over Cumbria's mountains and lakes.
There is a particular elegance in being able to climb a succession of peaks and taking advantage of high-level links to do it efficiently. This is the base theory behind most horseshoe walks and applying it has generated a huge number of superb routes.
