(S/E) Start walking toward Kirkstone Pass and turn right in Cross Gate, just before the house at the end of the road.
(1) When the path splits and you have some trees on your left and Dubbow Crag on your right, go slightly right on the path that starts climbing.
At the top of the hill, when the path splits, take the first one on the right and follow the Coast to Coast Walk path. Later, between Stony Rigg and Angletarn Pikes, the path will split again. To stay on the Coast to Coast Walk, take the path on your left. You are now approaching Angle Tarn.
(2) When Satura Crag is on your left and the path split, leave the Coast to Coast Walk path by using the path on your left. This way will lead you to Rest Rodd summit.
(3) From the summit, walk down the hill straight forward to join the Coast to Coast Walk path again next to Sulphury Gill. Keep going down with Sulphury Gill on your right until you reach a bridge crossing Hayeswater Gill.
(4) Cross the bridge, and walk along Hayeswater Gill which is on your right. Later, cross a second bridge to arrive on the other side of Hayerwater Gill. Keep following this path until you reach the car park (S/E)

Great walk! Quite a steep downhill at the end and a wind at the top which could blow away a mammoth but really worth the effort! The view of the Tarn is incredible and peaceful. I really recommend.

Excellent walk, stunning scenery. Nice steady climb not tiring at all. The tarn was gorgeous when you got up there. One of my fav walks so far. Will be going back.
