Total Distance: 6.5 miles app
Total ascent/descent:
After walking
across the park a steep but short pull up the metaled bridleway will see us
onto to the shoulder of Loughrigg granting us a stunning glimpse down the
length of Windermere. Our next destination is the sublime Loughrigg Tarn where,
weather permitting, we’ll be able to look across to the Langdale Pikes and
Crinkle Crags. Next up are High Close Woods before we move onto Loughrigg
Terrace affording views of Grasmere. We then walk down to the shore of Rydal
Water before making our way through the grounds of St Mary’s Church
(assiduously avoiding the temptations of the Badger Pub) to Rydal Hall. Weather
and time permitting we’ll explore the gardens before taking the gentle stroll
back into Ambleside in time for a well-earned coffee or pint.
