A Walk up Roseberry


You’ll find Roseberry Topping between Great Ayton and Newton under Roseberry in North Yorkshire. Towering 1049 feet over the beautiful Cleveland landscape, the summit rewards climbers with stunning views, and on a clear day, you can see for miles.

Rydal Water, Lake District


Our original plan for our second day in the Lakes was to visit Coniston and climb Coniston Old Man, but, like last time, the weather had other ideas. It turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year, so we decided against climbing a mountain, and instead, we headed to Rydal Water, a lake near the hamlet of Rydal.


Rydal wasn’t somewhere I had heard of before. We just stumbled across it on the way to Grasmere to get some of their world-famous gingerbread. There’s parking at the lake, and after crossing over a bridge, you’re greeted with stunning scenery. The are a few different tracks that you can walk – we chose one that took us alongside the lake up to Rydal Cave.

Hill Top, Lake District


Hill Top is a 17th-century house in Near Sawrey, a small village near Hawkshead. It was once home to children’s author Beatrix Potter who bought the property in 1906 following the success of her book Peter Rabbit and left it to the National Trust. The building is now grade 2 listed.

Surrounded by beautiful countryside and colourful gardens, it’s where she would sit and write some of her most famous tales. Many of Beatrix’s original furnishings and trinkets still dotted around the house, including copies of her illustrations that she had sent to her publisher when working on Peter Rabbit.
