Wasdale Head (/ˈwɒzdeɪl/; traditionally /ˈwɒsəl, ˈwɒʃdəl/)[1] is a scattered agricultural hamlet in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England.

Wasdale Head claims to be home of the highest mountain (Scafell Pike), deepest lake (Wastwater), smallest church and biggest liar in England.

There is a famous climber's hotel here, the Wasdale Head Inn, made popular in the Victorian period by Walter Parry Haskett Smith, Owen Glynne Jones and many other pioneers.

The south window has a small pane within it with an etching of Napes Needle on Great Gable, serving as a memorial to members of the Fell & Rock Climbing Club who lost their lives in the First World War.

The eagle was unscathed, but five months later the dog gave birth to a litter of winged hounds.
