Night walk along the west coast of the Lake District was something else. The place is truly beautiful and I had the pleasure of sharing all of this with my girlfriend as we celebrated 1 year together, not even the weather could dampen our spirits as we took a walk after a meal out. We stumbled across a stunningly lit harbour that also boasted a pretty cool lighthouse.

Starting my 2nd day of the tour from rabbies, we pass by a beautiful scenery road called kirkstone pass and park our car at red pit parking area for some viewing. Quite a number of people park their car here and do the trails to Red Screes that take around 35 minutes 1.7 kilometers or Fairfield peak that take 2.5 hours 7.6 kilometers and etc. Red pit car park is between Windermere and Ullswater, we travel from Browness-on-windermere that is 20 minutes 13 kilometers.

Rhythmic Flow:River Rothay's Serenade through

Followed the meandering course of the River Rothay as it wove a liquid sonata through the heart of Grasmere. "Waterside Whispers" unfolded along its banks, where ancient stones cradled the flow and lush greenery embraced the melody. The charming stone bridges, like arched notes, spanned the river's gentle currents. Ducks played in the shallows, adding playful notes to the natural symphony. As I walked alongside, the soothing murmur of the river became a companion to the scenic stroll, and Grasmere, embraced by the embrace of the Rothay, revealed its tranquil beauty. #RothayRhythms #GrasmereWatersideMelody 🏞️🦆

Oxenholme Helm

amazing walk "pub circular" on the edges of the lake district. the station Inn has plenty of parking and has cheap local beers to start to walk. loop takes approx 1 hour and you get immediate views of Kendal and the countryside. Last 10 minutes are tough but there is warm food at the end! Remember walking shoes as very muddy. 9/10 would do again #freehotelstay #lakedistrict

Journey to Rydal Cave

We went to Rydal Cave recently after seeing beautiful pictures on the internet, and it was a nice walk from parking. Best make sure to wear the right clothes especially shoes as your feet are likely to get wet, even if it doesn’t rain! Be careful of mountain bikes though. There are some hills and there can be bikes coming down - We had a few near-death experiences in this one trip! Before and after visiting the cave there’s also plenty of beautiful nature to explore and appreciate around the Lake District :) #Lakedistrict #nature #localguides #familytrip #relax #Uk
