⚑Departure from Matterdale (Westmorland and Furness)
This is a lovely circular walk with continued interest and some great views over Ullswater. You will take in the dramatic Aira Force and upper cascades, then climb to the summit of Gowbarrow Fell where there are great views.The descent is more gradual and passes the remains of an old shooting lodge before arriving at another great view point at Yew Crags. The return gives good views and the interesting Lyulph's Tower.

Walking Gowbarrow Fell via Aira Force

Walker
↔5.58 km ↗+307 m ↘-308 m ◔2h 30 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Matterdale (Westmorland and Furness)
A short and interesting walk to the top of Gowbarrow Fell via Aira Force. This is an out and return walk but uses paths on either side of Aira Beck to maintain interest and give different views of the waterfalls and cascades. It is useful for a short weather window if you want to stretch your legs and you get a couple of hours of dry weather between the rain. (A longer walk around the fell is also available here.)

⚑Departure from Patterdale (Westmorland and Furness)
The YHA is a great institution and I guess most fell walkers have stayed at a hostel at some time in their lives. Funny how they were created "to help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside, particularly by providing hostels or other simple accommodation for them on their travels". Here's a collection of routes starting or finishing at a YHA in The Lakes. Along the way are 8 Wainwrights, 2 lakes, 1 tarn and 1 pub
