    There is no better sight than travelling into Langdale. The valley is simply beautiful. The pointy rocky summits of the pikes dominate the skyline for miles. The top are so prominent and recognisable that you can see them from miles away. Situated at the end of the Langdale valley is Bowfell. Its great height and bulk are only obvious on closer inspection, but the mountain is the true ‘king’ of the valley.
