The Honister Pass links Borrowdale with Buttermere and is a steep winding route passing the Honister Slate Mines which is open during the day for tours and teas. The road is not for the feint hearted, not quite as severe as Hardknot and Wrynose but still challenging. The scenery you pass amongst is stunning, steep sided scree slopes and towering lakeland fells.
