Aira Force and Gowbarrow Fell Circular

Details

Anyone who is joining us for the walk on the Saturday (Hart Crag, Dove Crag etc) here is a short but well rewarding walk before we head back home.

A pleasant walk up through the forest, some of the trees are hundreds of years old. As we follow Aira Beck passing Aira Force and High Force before heading out onto the open fellside. Climbing steadily up to the summit of Gowbarrow Fell we will have fantastic views of Ullswater and the distance Pennines, as we carry on further on the path the views will fully open up to see the Ullswater in it's entirety by Yew Crag. The path here is like a Terrace and walking is a delight.

We then drop back down into the forest to reach our start point.
