C Walk from Grasmere 2016

Walk Leader: Joan and Shirley
Total Distance: 6 miles
Total Height:




'A Walk of Two Valleys'.



From Grasmere there is no walk which doesn't go 'up'!  Our walk does have quite a bit of 'up' but none particularly steep and we have lots of time to admire the magnificent views. We start off along the lane which goes past the Garden Centre heading towards the lake. We turn right from this lane just by the cottage with the letter box in the wall, and ascend the lane which soon becomes a stony footpath passing by woodland before heading into open fell where we can look back to the Grasmere valley and hills. The path then descends steeply to the Grasmere/Chapel Stile lane. We follow the road down into Elterwater, the join the Chapel Stile/Skelwith Bridge road before ascending towards High Close. After this section of road walking we emerge on to the popular footpath along Loughrigg Terrace before dropping down to Lake Grasmere. We walk back to the village by the side of the lake and finally the short section of the road where we started in the morning.
