    Tips

    Just like every other place on the way to Hay Stacks, the view is joyous!

      August 12, 2022

      There’s a lovely walk around Buttermere or you can enjoy the view from the ascent (some turning is required as it will be behind you). It’s a stunning view and immediately gets rid of all the stress of driving down the narrow road to get parked up whilst contending with other drivers who believe their cars are another 4ft wider than they are and passing places are for other people to use
