Walking in the Lake District 2012 - Day 6

Day 6 in the Lakes. Fri 08-Jun-11. Gentle stroll from Ambleside round Rydal Water and Grasmere. Exactly 10 miles in 3.25 hours

We have tried to mix it up with our walks - some countryside, some fells, some coastline and now some lakes.


Rydal Water

As our route took us past Dove Cottage into Grasmere village we had to have a look at Wordsworth's grave.


Grasmere - Wordsworth's Grave

Plus buy some "original" gingerbread from the tiniest shop imaginable - previous a school house support by Wordsworth and his sister.


Grasmere - Gingerbread shop

Lunch at Tweedie's Bar and then the return route completed the circumambulation of the two lakes.
