Kirkstone Pass 1,489 feet is the Lake District's highest pass open to motor traffic. 
It connects Ambleside in the Rothay Valley to Patterdale in the Ullswater Valley - the A592 road. There is another route `The Struggle` with a gradient of 1 in 4 in places stretches from Troutbeck which joins the Ambleside road at the Kirkstone Pass Inn. 
The Kirkstone Pass Inn stands close to the summit of the pass. Formerly an important coaching inn, it now caters primarily for tourists. It is the third highest public house in England.
