We headed to the Lake District, which I’d only really visited in summer before, and everywhere was beautiful with autumn colours. I found a walk to Loughrigg Fell that was described as 'one of the best autumn walks in the Lake District', and it didn’t disappoint. Loughrigg Fell is one of many hills in the Lake District and has an elevation of 335 metres.
We started the walk in Ambleside, and after a few minutes
navigating our way through the town, we were soon up in the fells. The walk, which is just over six miles in total, took us off the main track towards Loughrigg
Fell, and after a steep ascent, we reached the top. There are several different routes
to the top of the fell, so you shouldn’t be able to go wrong.
Although it was quite misty at the top, you could see several lakes, including Elterwater and my favourite
– Grasmere. We had dinner overlooking Grasmere Lake, and the photos I took don’t
show just how beautiful the autumn colours really were.
We dropped down next to Grasmere, and the walk takes
you back along the shore of Rydal Water, stopping off at Rydal Caves before returning to the start in Ambleside.
