A walk which links a picture-post card village and a picture-post card viewpoint can hardly fail to be attractive.  From Hawkshead an easy paced route proceeds across fields and through woods, climbing gently to a supreb vantage point overlooking Tarn Hows with splendid views along the way.  

The return to Hawkshead is at a higher level, giving distant glimpses of Windermere and Esthwaite Water backed by green hillsides and rugged fields before descending into Hawkshead along a minor road.   If the weather is kind we will picnic by the side of Tarn Hows.
