Around Ambleside

Distance: 7.2 miles
Ascent: 360m
Weather: overcast
Buzzards, roe deer, goosander

Some last minute route planning took us up Sweden Bridge Road but turned off early up the footpath towards Kirkstone Road and Roundhill Farm. Early promise of no hordes was disappointed, especially around the bottom of the path to Wansfell, but we had some peace and quiet in the woods near Jenkin's Crag. We looked at the champion trees, including the tallest tree in Cumbria,  and saw a roe deer.

Dropping down to the lakeside, we walked around Jenkin's Field to Holme Crag and then around the shore up around the roman fort and through the park.
