Wandope, Mountain summit in Lake District National Park, United Kingdom.
Wandope is a 772-meter summit with broad plateaus and steep slopes in the Lake District. The mountain connects to neighboring Crag Hill across expansive moorland terrain.
The summit was documented by Alfred Wainwright during the 1950s and 1960s in his detailed mountain guides. His publications formed the foundation for modern hillwalking in the North Western Fells region.
The summit belongs to a classification system that draws hill-walkers across Britain seeking peaks from established lists. This categorization has made it a destination that connects enthusiasts through shared mountain traditions.
Most routes begin from Buttermere village, following marked paths along Sail Beck or Third Gill toward the summit. Proper footwear and rain gear are important since weather conditions can change rapidly in the mountains.
On the northern face sits Addacomb Hole, a symmetrical hanging valley with a 210-meter headwall shaped like a natural amphitheater. This striking formation remains hidden from most standard hiking routes.
