Other walks in the area
Dunmallard Hill Settlement, Pooley Hill

This circular walk brings you along River Eamont before going up into the woodlands around Dunmallard Hill. On the way enjoy views of the countryside and over Ullswater loch.
From Mayburgh Henge to Brougham Castle

This flat, linear walk will allow you to discover some English Heritage with Mayburgh Henge and Brougham Castle while enjoying a riverside walk along River Eamont. Nearby you can also visit King Arthur's Round Table.
Howtown to Patterdale; Lakeside

A lovely amble around the Southern Eastern shore of Ullswater with great views. An excellent family walk if combined with the Ullswater Steamer from Glenridding.
Gowbarrow Fell via Aira Force

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.
Gowbarrow Fell via Aira Force
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.)
YHA hopping in the Lake District - YHA Patterdale to YHA Grasmere
Here's a collection of routes starting or finishing at a YHA in The Lakes. Along the way are 3 Wainwrights, 1 tarn and 1 pub
YHA hopping in The Lake District - YHA Patterdale to YHA Keswick
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
