Rydal Water

This crystal-clear lake is perfect for a waterside wander. There’s a path that skirts round the banks, winding past William Wordsworth’s old house. Here’s a tip: for the most atmospheric walks, head down just after sunrise, when the mist still hangs above the lake to create an intoxicating air of mystery.

    Location superb. WIthin an easy drive of either Ambleside of Grasmere. Dove Cottage literally just over the road. And a 1K walk, crossing a bridge over the river, took you to the top of Rydal water and any number of paths for walking beyond that. Breakfasts excellent Riverside garden which was very nice to sit out in.
