Route Description for Loughrigg Fell and Grasmere Walk
The Loughrigg Fell and Grasmere Walk is a beautifully scenic route that is popular with Lake District Walkers because of the sheer amount of highlights that it will expose you to. The trail begins just outside of Ambleside and initially heads south towards the River Brathay before traversing the rugged and hilly terrain to the northwest on the climb up to the summit of Loughrigg Fell. Here, you will enjoy spectacular views across Lakeland before descending the backside of the fell. At this point, you will walk around the scenic shores of Grasmere Lake and Rydal Water before crossing the open farmland terrain on the return to Ambleside.
