We are the Carlisle Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Slow pace. Starting from outside Sun Inn, Grasmere. We will ascent quite steeply to reach Alcock Tarn. Descend maintaining great views to reach Coffin Trail, which is followed until we reach Rydal. Options follow lakeside edge or ascend on to Loughrigg Terrace before descending back to Grasmere and the cars.
Ascent to Alcock Tarn is quite steep but good path should be manageable for all, including dogs.
Start time 09:30 as parking can be of premium.
Refreshments: Halfway at Rydal. Plenty of cafes/pubs in/around Grasmere.
Toilets: in Grasmere village. Also at Rydal.
long layby A591 Grasmere. If full other lays nearby or car parks in Grasmere village.
