Walk Description:
A leisurely walk around Grasmere Lake. Leaving the village centre, we head to the A591 at Town End. From here, we rise gently following part of the ‘Coffin Route’, dropping down to White Moss Common Car Park. Crossing the A591, we take the bridge over the River Rothay and walk alongside the river through woodland to the shoreline of Grasmere Lake. Continuing along the lakeshore path we eventually reach the ‘Red Bank Road’, and walk along it back to the village centre, followed by an optional evening drink.
Health and Safety: Please dress for the weather conditions, waterproofs handy if forecast rain/showers, light clothing if forecast fine and dry. Please bring water – plenty of it if the forecast is particularly warm and humid. Bring snacks as you wish.
