Footpath on the south side of Blea Tarn There&#039;s a very clear and easy footpath that takes you from the gate opposite the car park, along the south and west sides of the tarn. Then you can return along the road.

The Blea Tarn to Langdale Road after the deluge The road approaching Wall End from Blea Tarn was washed away after a major storm in the summer of 1966. This was the result of 12 hours of rain after which the day was fine! The Langdale campsite was navigable by canoe.

Langdale floods, September 1966 The campsite that had contained our tents was completely under water. The staff at The Old Dungeon Ghyll hotel allowed those from the campsite to spend the night in the basement of the hotel. This was the prospect the day after the rain.

Waterfall on Dungeon Ghyll Just above the footbridge carrying the public bridleway from New Dungeon Ghyll to Mickleden and adjacent to The Cumbria Way long distance path, this modest waterfall takes Dungeon Ghyll Beck over a layer of hard volcanic rock.
