Loughrigg Fell and Grasmere | Lake District

Autumn on Loughrigg Fell

I'd mostly visited the Lake District in summer before, so seeing it in autumn was something I was really looking forward to. The colours were beautiful, with the fells and trees covered in shades of orange, red and gold.

We started our walk in Ambleside and, after making our way through the town, soon found ourselves up in the fells. We headed towards Loughrigg Fell, climbing steadily until we reached the top.

It was quite misty when we got there, but the clouds didn't completely hide the views. We could still see several of the lakes below, including Elterwater and, my favourite, Grasmere.

After the climb, we stopped for dinner overlooking Grasmere. The photographs I took don't show just how beautiful the autumn colours were. From there, we made our way down towards Grasmere before following the shore of Rydal Water and stopping at Rydal Caves on the way back to Ambleside.
