  • Spout Force, Whinlatter

    Spout Force, Whinlatter

    We stopped off to have a look at Spout Force, just to the west of Whinlatter Forest.  This walk is best done when the leaves are not on the trees!  If you go up there in the height of summer you’re only likely to see a tiny slither of waterfall inbetween all the trees and shrubs.

  • Scale Force, Crummock Water

    Scale Force, Crummock Water

    Scale Force is a beautiful waterfall near Crummock Water.  It’s probably best seen before the tree foliage gets too thick, but it was still worth a visit today.

  • Blea Tarn and Side Pike, Langdale

    Blea Tarn and Side Pike, Langdale

    Blea Tarn is a beautiful and quiet spot in between Little Langdale and Great Langdale.  We did a circular 3 mile walk, taking in Blea Tarn and Side Pike, which offered amazing 360 degree views.

  • Stickle Tarn, Langdale

    Stickle Tarn, Langdale

    Today’s walk to Stickle Tarn in Langdale was amazingly beautiful.  It was also a hard slog up!  Don’t be fooled in thinking this short (2 mile) walk is easy.  You climb approximately 400 metres in altitude.

  • Eskdale Stepping Stones, Steam Train & Camping Pod

    Eskdale Stepping Stones, Steam Train & Camping Pod

    We had a very adventurous family weekend in Eskdale, in the western Lake District. We started with a trip on the Ravensglass to Eskdale Steam Railway, went fro a lovely walk and ended up staying in a camping pod at Eskdale Campsite

  • Elterwater to Skelwith Bridge, Little Langdale

    Elterwater to Skelwith Bridge, Little Langdale

    Elterwater to Skelwith Bride, or vice versa, or even there and back, is a beautiful and easy walk, that is suitable for pushchairs too. It’s approx 1.5 miles each way, with plenty of adventure along the way.

  • Colwith Force, Little Langdale

    Colwith Force, Little Langdale

    Colwith Force, Little Langdale is a beautiful, short easy walk to some amazing cascades and waterfall. Especially after heavy rainfall. The walk is less than 0.5 miles in total, there and back, and could easily be incoporated into other walks

  • Stanley Ghyll Force, Eskdale

    Stanley Ghyll Force, Eskdale

    Stanley Ghyll Force Waterfall is possibly one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Lake District. Seemingly surrounded by lush green vegetation, come summer or winter, it’s a hidden gem. And perfect for a wet weather day walk.
