Yoke Et Al. 2

The Fairfield horseshoe includes seven other Lake District fells. Low Pike, High Pike, Dove Crag and Hart Crag form the outward route with the return over Great Rigg, Heron Pike and Nab Scar back to Ambleside via Rydal. This is a high level route so choose a good day to make the most of the views.

Short walk to see the famous Rydal cave. Dog friendly walk.

A medium level walk with gorgeous views on Ambleside and distant summits. Dog friendly walk.

A figure-of-eight route which, with only moderate climbing, gives superb views to Windermere.

Fantastic views over Windermere, a sylvan waterfall, and a gentler woodland return via the village

A hard fell walk up the valley of Trout Beck to High Street, returning via the Ill Bell ridge.

A steady climb up to Angle Tarn from Hartsop via Boredale Hause followed by a stroll along a ridge with great views over to Helvellyn then up to Rest Dodd dropping down to Hayeswater and back to the car park.

This Lake District hike includes two Wainwrights and a famous Lakeland Pass so is never short of interest. The first part of the walk involves a steep ascent but this is not as bad as it looks. Once the summit of Hartsop Dodd is reached the going is relatively easy and straightforward. The second Wainwright of Stony Cove Pike is soon reached followed by the descent to Kirkstone Pass and Brothers Water.
