C Walk from Ambleside 2019

Walk Leader: John Adamson
Total Distance: 5 mls app
Total Ascent/Descent: approx 500ft



The “C” Walk starts with a coffee and cake in one of the local tea shops in Ambleside.  We walk through Ambleside to Rothay Park, cross the River Rothay and head north along a back road to Rydal.  The road is fairly flat with views across to Fairfield. We walk up towards Rydal Water and cross the main Ambleside – Grasmere road.  The walk then climbs up a short way to the back of Rydal Hall, where there are lovely views of the beck and water falls.  Our return walk to Ambleside takes us across fields towards Scandale Bridge.  We take a path to the left to climb up to the Lower Sweden Bridge that crosses the Scandale Beck at the water falls, and continue down Nook Lane and on into Ambleside.  There are no stiles on the route.
