Troutbeck Tongue | Wainwrights Far Eastern Fells
It would be fairly easy for Troutbeck Tongue to go unnoticed. Set in the Troutbeck valley surrounded by larger fells part of the appeal of Troutbeck Tongue is its anonymity. One of many Tongues in Lakeland, Troutbeck Tongue is a wedge of sharply rising ground shouldered by a beck that runs along its base. Raising from the valley floor at Dalehead, Troutbeck Tongue is modest in size but with views back towards Windermere and the lakes it should not be overlooked. Whether gazing at Troutbeck Tongue from the nearby Kirkstone Pass or undertaking the mellow walk, Troutbeck Tongue is sure not to disappoint. Accessible from the village of Troutbeck or via longer walks from nearby Ambleside or Windermere there are plenty of options for Troutbeck Tongue walks.

TROUTBECK TONGUE MAP AND ROUTE
Follow my Troutbeck Tongue route here using OS Maps.
My route starts on the road next to Jesus Church where roadside parking is available. From here, you head through the nearby holiday village until you reach the footpath that heads through the valley until you reach a stream crossing near the base of Troutbeck Tongue. From here, it is a short sharp walk up Troutbeck Tongue until you reach the summit. From the summit you can choose to walk over the fell and down the otherside, however I opted to head back down the same way. I then opted for another path back to the car, you can follow my route here.
