Tips
Rydal Water lies in the heart of the Lake District and is connected to the larger lake of Grasmere to the west by the River Rothay. Spectacular views over the lake are offered by "Wordsworth's Seat", a natural rock formation on the western side of the lake, thought to have been one of the poet's favourite places in the Lake District. Situated just off the Grasmere to Ambleside road, this tranquil spot is ideal for a peaceful walk.

Below Redial cave there are couple of smaller "caves" or holes if someone is inclined to discover them.
