Little Langdale, along with Great Langdale, Elterwater and Chapel Stile can be found in the Langdale Valley, home to possibly one of the most well-known and well-walked mountain ranges in England. The jagged peaks of the Langdale Pikes create a spectacular skyline and provide adventurous walking and climbing opportunities. The valley itself offers fantastic low level walks for the less experienced and active visitor. At the head of the valley is Blea Tarn. Stone built Blea Tarn House, dating from the 1600s, sits nearby and was the inspiration for a Wordsworth poem.
