The walk leaves Grasmere in the direction of the A591. After crossing the main road the walk ascends to meet the ‘Coffin Trail’ and continues onwards to reach White Moss Common. High elevation views of Grasmere can be seen on this section. The walk continues along a bridleway to eventually approach Rydal Mount.

A slight descent towards the A591, to re-cross the road and access the narrow bridge opposite, before turning in the general direction of Grasmere.
The walk continues into a wood keeping Rydal Water just to the right, eventually ascending to reach a footpath which overlooks Rydal Water.
From this point the walk continues onwards through leafy woods to reach the lake side and then finally approach the town of Grasmere

Ground conditions are a mixture of footpaths, bridleways, woodland treks and minor roads. Views of interest are many and varied. There are no stiles to be negotiated but a few kissing gates and the walk is extremely pleasant.
