    Hiking

    The walk up towards Castlerigg from Great Wood car park is beautiful. A nice, gentle climb through the trees.

    Hiking

    The trip down by this route is very difficult. It should definitely not be classified as ‘easy’ by any means. But the view is spectacular!

    Hiking

    Good spot to park (National Trust members free) and walk up to Walla Crag, along Derwentwater or into Keswick.
