Whilst looking for walks to do during our trip to the lakes, we came
across Elterwater, a small lake just outside the village of the same name. The
walk was maybe 4 or 5 miles but we didn’t complete the whole thing – not
because I was too tired I’d like to add, but because we got lost – what a
surprise.
The first part of the walk was through fields around the lake, with
amazing views of the hills in the background. We made it past a couple of
unnerving cows and arrived at Skelwith Force, a 15ft waterfall. The spray
from the water created a rainbow which I was lucky enough to capture.
The
next part was to walk to Skelwith Bridge. I thought that it meant an
actual bridge, so when we reached the bridge over the waterfall that’s the way
that we went. Funnily enough it turns out that it’s actually a place
(oops) and we’d gone the wrong way, but the views on the walk back more than
made up for this!
