Third day in the Lakes and the weather was just how you want it at this time of year, sunny and a nice nip in the air, with plenty of colour on the trees to give you some nice photos. To be honest I only took my phone with me but the walk itself was good and reminded me of the Buttermere walk I did back in February (here). Its a lovely spot and along with Buttermere gives a nice low level walk in the Lakes with very little effort, and at this time of the year the woodland parts are exceptional, however you really want to climb the fells in these parts and look down to them, but as a break from the high stuff it is good place to be.

The day before going to Grasmere I’d had a day in Bowness, this is taken from one of the many boat trips around Windermere, looking to the Fairfield Horseshoe on the left in the distance.
And looking to the south into the sun
This is the Grasmere walk, and I’m here in the woods around White Moss Common having walked the road from Grasmere
Out onto the bridge by the weir. That’s Silver How across Grasmere
The white building at the far end of the lake is Allan Bank (Wordsworths House now run by the National Trust)
It was lovely here as I look to the dip of Dunmail Raise the bracken on the fells showing the brown colours of the fells
Fantastic reflections, with Seat Sandal (right) and Steel Fell (left) of Dunmail Raise
