This walk starts
with a gentle stroll around the southern shores of Loweswater; the woods are
spectacular in Spring with a massive carpet of bluebells. Crossing the
road and making our way to the bridle path, the path turns towards Darling Fell
which is extremely steep out the outset. Traversing between Darling Fell &
Low Fell requires a fairly steep descent & ascent whereas the descent from
Low Fell is steep & relatively unpleasant. |
