BURNTHWAITE FARM
WASDALE HEAD
VISITORS
This farm offers a warm welcome to visitors and asks them to keep to the marked footpaths, keep dogs on the lead, and close all gates behind them.
"This is a traditional hill farm created and developed by generations of skilled and knowledgeable shepherds and farmers. The work of these families in the past, today, and in the future has combined care of animals with sensitive environmental management to produce a unique and invaluable asset for us all."
ACCESS
Four bridleways cross the farm, one of which is the ancient packhorse route across Styhead Pass to Seathwaite-in-Borrowdale, used by thousands of walkers each year.
