Around Buttermere

/ 15/02/2016

If there’s a better simpler low level walk in the UK than this one then feel free to let me know. A few miles, a bit of woodland, cascading streams, a large lake, a tunnel and a cracking village with a couple of pubs and a couple of coffee shops. It is a fabulous place to walk, the fact that the views are absolutely jaw dropping just adds to the brilliance of the place. I’ll be doing this one again for sure.

Start – Buttermere village
Route – Burtness Wood – Peggy’s Bridge – Gatesgarth – Hassness – Buttermere village
Distance – 3.5miles    Start time – 10.30am     Time taken –  1 1/2hrs    Highest Point – N/a
Weather – Sunny and blue sky, cold

I have a feeling there will be quite a few shots of Fleetwith Pike at the end of Buttermere today!!
Snow topped Grasmoor ( I was up there back in Oct 2015 here) and Mellbreak on the left. The Loweswater fells in the distance
Stunning

Fleetwith again

Around the large and horned Highland cattle on the pathway!!
Looking from Peggy’s Bridge along Buttermere, the reeds looking golden against the blue skies and water
A robin takes off in front of Fleetwith Pike
Around the other side now looking to High Stile
The classic view of the Buttermere Pines backed by a silhouetted Haystacks
About time for another shot of Fleetwith Pike
The tunnel
High Stile and Red Pike across Buttermere, after exiting the tunnel
