ロウズ湖周辺のおすすめファミリーハイキング＆ウォーキング

Cathedral is nice but the huge old trees are spectacular

Beautiful especially if you get good weather

"There are children's stories that are so charming, strange and wonderful that you can and want to read them at any age," said Anke Zimmer in the 'Fuldaer Zeitung' about the children's book author and illustrator Beatrix POTTER (1866 to 1943), whose wonderfully told stories are still being reprinted today. "Peter Rabbit is the most well-known inhabitant of the wonderful world (...), but he has many friends: the squirrel Timmy Zehenspitz, Mrs. Tuschelmaus and the little pig Robinson (...). They experience funny and exciting adventures right on their own doorstep or on their way out into the wide world," writes the Anaconda publishing house about a new edition of "The Complete Stories of Peter Rabbit and His Friends".

On a practical note, it's one of the few bridges over the river in this area so it's likely a waypoint. That said, it's worth a pause to look upstream and downstream and take the obligatory photo. If you're naughty, there's a jail built into the bridge underneath.

Taybank does excellent food outside

A tree that's probably famous for being famous; it's not a glamorous healthy-looking tree but certainly a tree with history. At least stop to read the information boards when hiking past.

An excellent dirt path that's very wide in places becomes very narrow at the southern end. Watch your step: in places, the path at the river's edge has eroded and, somewhat strangely, there are plenty of raised drain covers to trip over.

A splendidly smooth and scenic gravel and asphalt path/track graces the river's east side, offering a delightful hikee. Portions of this route are part of National Cycle Route 77, while sections around Dunkeld House Hotel see it merging with vehicular roads. To the north of the hotel, the path transitions to asphalt. On the river's west side, hikers can find a more rugged dirt path, catering to those seeking a bumpier journey.
