Overview

The walk starts by skirting Latrigg from Ormathwaite, then ascending Latrigg, on easy grassy and gravel paths. After the initial descent, the path through the woods towards Keswick is deeply rutted and slippery in places. The walk through Brundholme Woods is undulating. After ascending again towards Latrigg, the route then retraces the path back to the car.
