Wasdale Head is a remote hamlet situated deep within the Lake District National Park, at the very head of the Wasdale valley in Cumbria, North West England. It lies a considerable distance from larger towns, serving as a gateway to some of England's most dramatic mountain scenery, including Scafell Pike, the country's highest peak, and the deep waters of Wastwater. The hamlet itself is very small, primarily comprising the historic Wasdale Head Inn, a few farmsteads, and the tiny St. Olaf's Church, making it a quintessential base for walkers and climbers seeking the wilder side of the fells. Its isolated location and rugged landscape embody the unspoiled character of this part of the national park.
