Lake District
The Lake District National Park comprises 912 square miles of high
mountains, lakes, rivers and coastline. No wonder, then, that it was
loved so dearly by
Beatrix Potter, Alfred Wainwright, Arthur Ransome, and William &
Dorothy Wordsworth, along with the 16 million visitors it receives every year.
There are hundreds of miles of footpaths in the Lake District, so no
matter what your ability, the chances are there is a walk for you.
Red Screes walk
Red Screes overlooks the top of Kirkstone Pass presenting to the inn on the opposite side of the road its steep eastern face riven by crags and tongues of red hue scree. A way through seems unlikely, but there is a path winding amongst the crags, climbing steep rough rocky steps, that makes its way to the trig point at the summit.
As you climb the view opens out behind you to the ridge of Wansfell and Wansfell Pike with Windermere seemingly shy behind it. When you eventually reach the top an all round panorama is revealed.
