Lake District - Elterwater


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 because we got lost.



The first part of the walk was through fields around the lake, with amazing views of the fells 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. It turns out that it’s actually a place and we’d gone the wrong way, but the views on the walk back more than made up for this!
