Before lockdown we took a walk up to Orrest Head from the cottage. it took around 25 minutes to get to the top and the views were spectacular.
If you’re staying at The Lady of the Lake and want to explore the area without taking the car, make this short, yet relatively steep walk top of your list!
From the cottage, head towards Windermere on the main road (A591) and take a left turn at the footpath either just after the bend (be careful, it’s quite tricky to cross here) or further up at the traffic lights crossing before Windermere train station.
Follow the footpath up and you will reach the view point at the top – absolutely stunning views across Lake Windermere to the mountains.
