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.

    There is a choice of paths running alongside this lake...

    There is a choice of paths running alongside this lake giving wonderful views of the lake and surrounding mountains/hills. For much of the way there were grassy wooded slopes full of bluebells and other wild flowers. It's a tranquil area.

Its a great location to get out and about and Rydal water , Grasmere and the caves are all in walking distance. I will definitely be back.

    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.
