    Hiking

    Rydal Water at its best.
    Translated by

    Hiking

    This viewpoint across Rydal Water, in the heart of Romantic Lakeland, is beautiful. Just as good, is the vista across Grasmere to the west, where hte wooded slopes of Silver How give way to a craggy, knobbled summit.

    From here, you can head east to the famous Rydal Cave, a popular beauty spot. It's also not too far to hike to attain the summit of Loughrigg Fell, which occupies a unique high spot overlooking several valleys.
