EspañolWRYNOSE PASS
One of several road-signs warning drivers of the extreme conditions ahead.
Wrynose Pass, Wrynose Bottom and the River Duddon.
The 'Wrynose Pass' is a mountain pass in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England between the Duddon Valley and Little Langdale.
There is a single-track motor road over the pass, which is one of the steepest roads in England, with gradients up to 1 in 3. In fact, it is so steep that its name comes from 'pass of the stallion.' The road continues over Hardknott Pass and goes on to Eskdale.
The pass separates the Furness Fells from the Bowfell-Crinkle Crags massif.
At the top of the Wrynose Pass is the Three Shire Stone, marking the meeting point of the historic counties of Cumberland, Lancashire and Westmorland.
At the bottom of Wrynose is Fell Foot Farm, a 17th century, Grade II listed, National Trust property with a fascinating history and a tradition for hospitality that dates back centuries.
