Overview

One of our longest journeys today as we make the long overdue return to this very popular destination. Surrounded by fells the wailing opportunities are varius. With Derwent Water and Cat Bells to the South, and Latrigg (the small hill) and Skiddaw (the big one) to the North there is lots of uphill walking available. Easier walks by Derwent Water, or along the old railway line overlooking the River Greta.
