Total Distance: 12 miles
Total Ascent/Descent: 2300 ft
This is a
very pretty walk with some lovely views. It offers a good challenge as well
this is quite a hard walk. The walk starts in the car park at Hawkshead and
finishes near by at a pub! The route takes in two peaks one is Latterbarrow
which is 245 metres and the other is Grizedale which is 315 metres both are
well worth the effort to get there. The route takes an almost goes in every
direction around the town heading North Easerly at first towards Latterbarrow
and then southerly towards Near Sawray at the base of Esterwaite water. This is
a tiny pretty village, and the route heads South Westerly into the Grizedale
forest. There are various adventure areas in the forest and other exciting
things to see. Then we take a north Easterly heading back towards Hawkshead,
this is a quite hard section on good paths reaching 315 Metres and stunning
views. From there the route is mainly down hill towards the top of Esthewaite
water again offering wonderful views. From the top of the lake we head towards
a mountain bike area. After this there is a steady decent into Hawkshead this is
a lovely walk.
