There is no better, nor peaceful place to retreat for a break than Loweswater. The north western Lake Districts most beautiful and undisturbed valley. Leading to the great waters of Crummock and Buttermere. Loweswater holds nothing for the gift hunting, antique collecting or chip loving tourist, why? Because there are no shops, 1 pub, a church and loads of mountains!
Yet again we return to Heather and her gang at
Scale Hill Cottages and what great hosts they are. Testing out a camera lens from the bottom of the bag we went exploring by Crummock Water, scrambling up High Crag, High Stile and Red Pike. Wandering up Low fell, crutches and all.
After a long break from walking in the Lakes one family member was once again in walking boots and there was no stopping them!
This place really is heavenly. With it's own micro climate no day is the same as another. And if it's a bit wet there is always the
Kirkstile Inn that never disappoints!
We will be back.
