Total distance: 6 Miles
Total ascent/descent:
Following coffee in a nearby
café which has delicious what they call Plum Bread (toasted) we set off for
our walk. After passing Dove Cottage
the route goes upwards and downwards along the coffin route until eventually
going down past Rydal Hall to reach the main road. After a short walk along the
road the path goes into the trees and follows the River Rothay and along this
path we will stop for lunch with lovely views over Rydal Water.
The path climbs
quite steeply for a short distance before dropping down to follow Grasmere lake shore. At the end of the lake there is
unfortunately a steepish climb up to the road which leads us back to the
village where you can enjoy welcome refreshments of your choice and browse the
local shops. Don’t forget the Gingerbread shop near the Church; a must for Grasmere visitors.
Have a good day. Joan & Shirley.
