#1: Kirkstone Pass (Lake District) Author: luke079, Location: LancashirePosted: Fri Jun 20, 2014 6:27 pm ---- "Kirkstone Pass with an altitude of 1,489 feet is the Lake District’s highest pass that is open to motor traffic. It connects Ambleside in the Rothay Valley to Patterdale in the Ullswater valley – the A592 road"
Was suggested here by a friend and was really impressed cracking road to drive on well worth a visit if you're localish!

Used to use it a lot on the run from Patterdale to Ambleside. Managed to be the last vehicle through it a few years ago before the police closed it due to snow. That was a hair raising drive as it dropped down towards Windermere
