Stang End is a collection of six farm buildings on elevated land near the River Brathay in the valley of Little Langdale, with views of the hamlet of the same name where the Three Shires Inn is located. The farm complex can be reached on foot via Little Langdale, Skelwith Bridge and Elterwater, usually by a popular circular walking route that includes a small section of the Cumbria Way. Other places of interest along the route are Skelwith Force and Colwith Force, both small but photogenic waterfalls, Cathedral Quarry (also Hodge Close Quarry slightly further away) and Slater's Bridge, the delightful 17th century packhorse bridge that is always worthy of a few photos, with stunning views of Lingmoor Fell in the distance.
