Above the mouth of Grasmere, Lake District, Chapter 1
On Saturday, we took the Loughrigg Terrace walk above Grasmere Lake and Rydal Water.
The sound of many waters there,
Was born upon a mountain air;
The silent sighing of the lakes
Upon the heights, unfurling brakes
From meres beneath these hoary fells
As though a memory an echo tells.
A general visual overview of the walk may be found here.
Driving through Corbridge again...
...along Hexham - Haydon Bridge...
...Hexham - Bardon Mill...
...Brampton...
...A manor in the distance, near Carlisle - Warwick Bridge...
...Penrith - Penruddock...
The fells... near Renrith - Troutbeck
Out, walking the woods through the Loughrigg Terrace walk above Grasmere
The walk opens up to Grasmere below, often voted the best view in the Lake District.
