An Introduction to Lake District Bouldering

With varied landscapes, intricate geography, disparate beauty and diverse geology the English Lake District and its surrounding area arguably offers up more variety than any other single bouldering location in the UK. This wondrous region plays host to an astonishing array of rock: an assortment of volcanic goodies scatter the central fells and valleys, sandwiched between the Triassic sandstone playgrounds of the north and the Carboniferous limestone gems hidden amongst the South Lakes bluebells. From excellent roadside venues such as Woodwell, the Langdale Boulders, the Bowderstone and Carrock Fell, to the adventure bouldering of the western fells and coastline, the Lake District has it all – and it’s all worth savouring.
