The Rydal Coffin Route is a historic walking route in the Lake District. The route takes its name from the fact that it was the traditional route used to carry the coffins of the deceased for burial to St Oswald's Church in Grasmere, as there were no burial places at Rydal and Ambleside. It is a popular route, known for its magnificent views over Rydal Water and the surrounding mountains, and also passes famous places such as Rydal Mount and Dove Cottage, former home of the poet William Wordsworth.
