fantastic views for moderate effort. Be careful on misty days if your navigation skills are limited as it would be easy to get lost.
Beautiful views of the lakes, surrounding villages, and lovely countryside. Achievable even for non-pro hikers!
Walked around Rydal, explored caves and then on to the top. Good climb up on obvious path, had fun wandering to other view points and enjoying good views. Kids enjoyed the walk and managed really well
If staying around Amberside,Grasmere and the Langdales this is a must.Great views down Windermere,Rydal,Grasmere lakes and surrounding hills.Gets busy at weekends and school hoildays.Good trainers,waterproof jacket and water needed.
Walked this with the family and our dog, rather than do the recommended walk, which is about 6 mile we decided to cut it short as the children didn't want to walk too far. Thing is that we took a few wrong turns and ended up doing about 7.5 miles! Cost me a lot of treats!Really recommend it though, not too hard and stopping in Ambleside for lunch works well.
Good walking and great views down over the Lakes. Beautiful countryside. Wear walking shoes. Can be very wet underfoot.
Cracking little fell with lots of routes from grasmere and Ambleside. Look for the caves. Plenty to explore and great views from the summit
A walk up Loughrigg is a staple for us when the cloud is too low for the big fells. Although not very high, it's relatively isolated position gives fantastic views in all directions. The routes on Loughrigg can be very busy, , particularly the route along Loughrigg Terrace and then up to the top. This isn't a pointy hill, the top is large and has many lumps and bumps - come up here in poor visibility and it can be a navigational challenge. At any time it can feel remarkably wild considering it's easy accessibility. Well worth the effort.
for the novice walker this is an ideal location to get up a hill with not too much effort and get some great views. there are several routes up and the beauty for the novice is that you cant get lost and incure the wasted time and effort of the mountain rescue teams who have to recover intrepid ill advised novice walkers. so go up and have a look at the views of windermere and grasmere in one go.
Our first walk in the morning,to blow away the cobwebslovely views and a nice steady walk without to much hardworkgreat walk for the dog,and kept on a lead because of sheep/lambs
