What a Beautiful walk! great Views over the lake and the surrounding area. little bit steep sometimes but its all worth it.
Lovely position for gazing at Derwent water. But i didn't like the steep drop and watching the water un-nerved me and made me feel a bit unbalanced at times (I'm a novice at this walking in the lakes) Not many places to park nearby. Set off very early or leave the car.

The scenery in this part of the Lake District is wonderful. A great introductory walk, but can be busier than Victoria Station in the rush hour!
