Walking in the Lake District - Superb!

Fabulous walking country whatever the weather - Spring and Autumn sees some of the best walking of the year. This photograph was taken on the Friday 2nd February taken from a 300m high tarn close to the summit of Loughrigg looking east towards Red Screes.

Rydal Water and Grasmere - 6 miles (10km)

A great introductory walk to local area - I recommend this walk to new visitors to Cote How as it is fairly gentle and takes in lots of stunning views and wildlife. It also helps you to get your bearings around the area - figure out Rydal, Loughrigg, Grasmere, the shops and churches, places of interest. It takes in the famous "Coffin Route" from Rydal to Grasmere and passes by Rydal Mount and Dove Cottage - Both homes of William Wordsworth.
