Grasmere Lakeside – View of Rydal Water

Our second hike. Grace didn't like the elevation of yesterday's hike so today's is more flat. It's also 50% longer at 15km.

The weather was not as good as yesterday, quite overcast, but still good for walking. We passed William Wordsworth's home. Several of them. I think every house the man even looked at has a sign saying he was there. Anyway, it was closed today, though the house he lived in for 37 years until his death was open.

We covered nearly 17km (more than in the plan) around two local lakes. Up the village of Grasmere for lunch at the Tea Gardens ( and a beer, Les would be happy).もっと詳しく
