During this year I shall be posting photographs from places around the UK, many of which have not been published before. Where I have previously blogged about a location I will provide a link to the post, though you won’t be able to comment on it as I restrict comments to six months.
K is for Kirkstone Pass
The Kirkstone Pass with an altitude of 1,489 feet is the Lake District’s highest pass that is open to motor traffic. The A592, which follows the route of a drover’s road used by farmers, runs from Windermere to Patterdale, but we took the short three mile winding road from Ambleside through the mountains, known as ‘The Struggle’ which leads to the Kirkstone Pass Inn.
Continuing past the inn towards Ullswater, you find yourself looking at this spectacular view.
The Pass is only to be driven in good weather. It can get dangerous in the winter when covered with snow and ice.
TRAVEL WORDS 
‘The Struggle’ sounds like a great name for that road! But worth it for the fabulous views. 🙂
Well the other road is much easier to drive along to reach the inn,, so you don’t have to use The Struggle. So many fab views in the Lake District.
