Dale Head is named for its position at the head of the Newlands Valley. This stretches away due north for three and a half miles before debouching into the floodplain of the Derwent between Derwentwater and
Bassenthwaite Lake.
The eastern wall of the valley is formed by the High Spy to Catbells ridge, separating it from Borrowdale. Entering on the western side are a series of side valleys which drain the main mass of the North Western Fells. The source of Newlands Beck does not however flow from the apex of Dale Head as might be supposed from the name. Instead it has its birth at the col between the main summit and the eastern top, High Scawdel (1,815 feet or 553 metres). The northern face of the fell forming the dalehead is ringed with crags. The main faces are Dalehead Crags and Great Gable, not to be confused with the fell of that name.
The southern flank of the fell running down to the summit of the Honister Pass road (1,180 feet or 360 metres) has much gentler slopes, although there is outcropping rock on either side. Buckstone Hows and Yew Crag overshadow the road. From the top of the pass Gatesgarthdale Beck runs north west to Buttermere while Hause Gill flows east to Seatoller and Borrowdale. Across the road is Grey Knotts in the Western Fells.
The ridge to Hindscarth departs north west from the summit of Dale Head, soon narrowing into the fine and airy Hindscarth Edge. Both slopes are rocky, that to the south being known as Molds. Far Tongue Gill descends from the north of the ridge, a tributary of Newlands Beck.
Although High Scawdel stands east of the main summit, the high ground takes a great loop to the south around the head of Newlands Beck. It then drives north to the depression at Wilson's Bield (1,655 feet or 504 metres) before climbing to the summit of High Spy. The rest of the North Western Fells bear no tarns worthy of the name, but Dale Head has two. On the northern slope near the source of Newlands Beck is Dalehead Tarn, while the smaller Launchy Tarn lies near the top of High Scawdel. Dalehead Tarn is a shallow pool providing a popular stopping place for walkers. Its varied flora include water horsetail, sedge and bogbean. Launchy Tarn is smaller and may have been formed by overgrazing and erosion of the underlying peat.

Another cracking Newlands walk in my favourite place in the world, I last did Hindscarth in 2019 with my now 15 year old collie Sam, from Honister to Dale Head, Hindscarth, Scope End and back up via the waterfalls valley to the Tarn and back to Honister bog trotting below Dale Head, epic. Thanks for the memories.
Ya very welcome Malcolm... Thanks for watching buddy very much appreciated... Have a great weekend 😊

My dad's ashes are spread at the top of Dale Head. Love the area and the views. He lived at Abbeytown and Wigton for a while. Great memories in Cumbria. We moved away, the worst day of my life. Went up there recently with my brother to say hello to my Dad. Say hello to Colin when you go up there. He would appreciate it. Had a great sense of humour too.
I absolutely will buddy my pleasure...lovely story and a lovely place to finally rest 😇
Thanks for watching Marra very much appreciated 😊

This walk brings back great memories of when I did the full Newlands Round circuit back in 2017 Andy. And I agree, that view looking down the Newlands Valley from the summit of Dale Head is hard to beat. Me and Ann get so much pleasure from all your walks and videos with the Rock Star. Keep up the great work my friend. 👍👣🌿⛰😊
Thanks as always Ian comments from old friends are alway very welcome Marra...these Hills are also like old friends 😊

Another cracking video, Andy and Billy. We love that route, especially when you get the afternoon sun shining on the top of Maiden Moor and Catbells. Dale Head was one of our first higher fells and we went the same way as you, from Honister. We couldn't believe it when we popped out by the cairn and saw that view. We were hooked, too. ATB Brian and Jill 😊😊
It's a gorgeous place in't it guys thanks as always for watching and the great feedback very much appreciated 😊

Another great video Andy! We did Dale Head, Hindscarth and Robinson from the slate mine last year and it remains one of my favourite hikes. Some of my best photos were taken up there. It was lovely to see it all from above. Stunning drone footage again! 😀
Thanks as always Mandy for watching and the great feedback 😊

Hi Andy and The rockstar, great video yet again mate, it’s is most certainly a beautiful part of the Lakes, I can see why it’s your favourite valley, that view you point out as the UK’s best definitely looks it. Nice to see your honk came with you too mate 😂. Thanks for sharing your hike with us as always mate. Hope you are all well, cheers Glyn.
😂🤣... Keeping good Glyn and the very same back...have a great weekend thanks as always for watching 😊

Hi Andy. Once again, beautifully shot with stunning views. Done part of that route, but up through the old mine workings from Borrowdale to Dale Head tarn, then upon to Dale Head. That's a leg burner going up there. Yes, it's one of the best views in the Lakes looking down Newlands valley. From there we made our way over to Buttermere for a few days at the YHA, then back to Borrowdale via Fleetwith Pike. I've had to do the moral thing and subscribe, fantastic videos. Cheers, Ozzy.
Thanks for the Sub Stephen very much appreciated mate 😊
I love these Hills mate there like old friends.
Have a great weekend Tek care stay safe 😊

Cracking video Andy. What a view that is from Dale Head. Fantastic. The last time I did the Newlands round I started at Robinson and finished at Cat Bells so I need to do Hindscarth. It looks a smashing route up with fab views all round. The lambs looked full of ittoo. Great to see them jumping around like that. Billy looked like he enjoyed it. What a cracking day you had.
One of the best I love these Hills David... thanks as always for watching have a great weekend 😊

Fabulous video of one of my favourite circuits, Andy. I so enjoyed this one and you're right, it doesn't matter how many times you do the same walk, there's always something different, be it weather, season, even down to what wildlife and flora you might see on the route. Loved those drone shots of you and Billy walking, especially up Scope End, gives a really good idea of the scale of the place. And I bet if Billy were left to his own devices, he'd have had a dry stone wall built from the rocks from that streambed! 🤣 One glimpse on the route up the Hindscarth ridge of the tiny reservoir down the other side up Scope Beck reminded me I haven't been up that valley for a while either. So much to do!
Thanks Irene very much appreciated and thanks for the feedback on the Drone Shots filming myself...my Drone don't have tracking so them shots are a bit fiddly and time consuming to film but I thought I'd try something different so thank you 😊
I love these Hills there like old friends.
Have a great weekend Irene 😊

Ey up Marra, Ey up Billy, fantastic as always, Newlands is just stunning isn't. I want to get back up there again. The last time I was on Dale head I saw bugger all of the valley. It was totally clagged in. Haha
Enjoy your week, all the very best
Dave
Thanks Dave Marra these Hills for me are like old friends I just love em.

Hi Andy. Superb video once again. The first time Ive seen such footage of the ascent to Hindscarth from Newlands Valley. Its looks amazing. Im on catch up as I was camping in Borrowdale last week because of the gorgeous weather. I finally got to do Eagle Crag. What an interesting ascent that was! ATB to you all
Aye mate It's easy to go wrong on Eagle Crag but it's a great la'al wander...think I need a visit soon...hope you had a great time down Borrowdale and the weather was kind...have a great weekend 😊
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻

This looks so good. We've done the full newlands round but that way up hindscarth looks great. It's making me want to book a week in borrowdale late August and take advantage of the heather in the summer sunshine. Or is that wishful thinking😅💚💜
Fantastic Hills Claire 😊

Brilliant video Andy. Once again it was lovely to meet you both. After seeing your footage from dale head I can see that being one of my next camps in the lake. Looks stunning from all sides. After you left I did a 4min video to camera talking about your channel and Alan’s charity only to come home and find I didn’t turn the bloody mic on so you’ll notice I’ve had to add a voiceover section which just didn’t have the same detail in it. 😞
Hopefully we can organise a hike out soon 😊
An absolute pleasure meeting you both bud...what a great wander love that time of day on't Hills...got yours to watch tonight 😊
Have a great weekend guys ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻

Thanks as always Butchy Lad that's what I'm going to work on for the channel new routes on epic Mountains I've not much desire to bag and just tick off these days it's all about finding something new... I'm getting so much fantastic feedback now it's just amazing...i never thought I could do this (put the camera in my face and make videos) but it gets easier and it just gets better I love it!!
Thank you so much for your continued support it helps soooooo much with my confidence 😊
Long may your own channel continue to grow 🙏🏻
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Another great one Andy. I really need to do the Newlands round, but I think I like the way you did it better than some of the others I've seen. Out of curiosity, what model Scarpas you wearing? Trying to find a new pair of boots for our trip next year. Those look like Terras maybe?
Hiya Mike there Scarpa Boreas GTX and there great for summer there very soft in support but no issues with the footbed nice and sturdy.
Although there waterproof I still I like my Scarpa Rangers for the wet days and winter.
Thanks as always for watching buddy have a great weekend 😊

@@RockStar67 Thanks so much. I'll look into those as well
@mjkoehler73 very welcome bud 😊
Awesome video. 👌. Can you send me a grid ref of your start point, please, or a map of this route, please? I'm new to the lakes. Was on Catbells (group walk) on Sunday. Last week of March, I did Barrow and Latrigg before Andrew Gills group walk up Grisedale Pike on the last Sunday of the month. So I've done 4 summits on a fractured ankle bone and a torn main ligament in my right foot. Nearly did Old Man, but the 50mph + gusts were too much in my ankle on my own off the Walna Scar road. I would ❤ to do this route when I'm back there in 3 months' time for the next group walk or even go up for a week on my own and do my own thing. I've subscribed to you and love your walks. Can you please let me know your start and finish point 👉 ❤❤❤❤ Jules
Hiya Julies sorry for the late reply grid ref for parking is Chapel Bridge Newlands Valley NY 23162 19387

Thanks so much, mate ❤
@@juleswilliams1207ya very welcome 😊
Lovely lovely vid Andy. Can I ask a question please. On some drone footage at the start I could make out a path that goes up the face of Dale Head, from the map it goes over Far Tongue Gill and over the back of Great Gable and cuts up left to the summit of DH. Have you done this path and if so is there any exposure and would you recommend it.
Thanks in advance.
Hiya Richard...yes mate you picked that route out perfect and yes I've done it a couple of times keep on the good path mate and there's no exposure it's a great route...thanks for watching 😊
Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
@@RockStar67 that’s great mate thanks for taking the time. I am up again in September and will probably do that route then.
I did a version of your Wet Side Edge route ,but from Tilberthwaite, in June with a friend, we absolutely loved it .
Thanks again 🙏🙏
Absolutely my pleasure mate thank you 😊
