Day 3: Borrowdale - Threlkeld
Type:Walking Route
Borrowdale, Cumbria, CA12 5UY
About
Romantic waterfalls and intimate woodland followed by a crossing of the high and lonely Armboth Fells gives this final day of the walk a more subtle feel. It is a day to explore, to peek over walls and seek out hidden views. It is also a day to contemplate the past with a visit to the ancient rocks at Castlerigg Stone Circle, a perfect place to stop for a picnic.The high section of this route can be avoided by turning left at the top of the Lodore Waterfalls Path and heading north along the permissive path and road to Ashness Bridge. From here a path heads gently up to re-join the route at Lady's Rake.
Before setting off please make sure you plot the suggested route on OS maps and pack a compass. They are essential for a safe, enjoyable day in the hills!
