Background
Description
The name Winterscleugh is said to mean "the ravine associated with the family of Edward Winter, recorded from C17th as land-holders in Borrowdale". Winterscleugh can be included in a 20 km "Whinash Ridge" walk, starting from the summit of the A6 road 6 mi south of Shap, passing over Crookdale Crag and Whinash, and returning along the Borrowdale valley bottom. They were added after the Lake District National Park boundary was extended in 2019, including them for the first time.
