Route Description:
A walk visiting the delightful Lanty’s Tarn and Keldas overlooking the Patterdale Valley and the head of Ullswater.
Leaving the car park, we walk alongside Glenridding Beck and ascend gently to Westside Farm. From here, it is a short quite steep ascent up open fellside to Lanty’s Tarn. The summit of Keldas lies to the east gained quickly via a rocky path. It provides excelent views of the surrounding countryside. Retracing our steps back to Lanty’s Tarn we descend southwards to a lane by Grisedale Beck. The return leg takes us east on the lane to the A592 and back to Glenridding via on and off roadside walking.
