Jennings Adventure Ale Trail - Rydal
Type:Walking Route
Ambleside, Cumbria
About
Discover the much loved, inspirational scenery of the central lakes with time to sit back and reflect with a pint of Jennings Real Ale!Explore the mix of low fells, woodland, fast flowing becks and the ruffled water of numerous tarns before reaching the Langdale Hotel to rest weary legs and refuel with dinner and a pint of refreshing Cumberland Ale!
Day two takes in the classic terrain of the Langdale Pikes, the most easily recognisable group of mountains in the Lake District, before following a sneaky high-level path to Easedale and to the Travellers Rest in Grasmere.
The final day is a time for reflection in an area famous for its literary connections before heading to the Queens Hotel in Ambleside for a pint of Jennings. A gentle and inspirational finish to a trail that takes in some of the most dramatic landscapes of the Lake District!
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!
