Walk or cycle this well known path between High Close and White Moss and enjoy the panoramic views over the Vale of Grasmere, with paths linking to Grasmere, Rydal and the summit of Loughrigg Fell. NY345058

Once owned by the poet William Wordsworth, this sloping field was named after his daughter and acquired as an alternative residence to Rydal Mount. The land was thankfully never developed and is now pleasant semi-open woodland, renowned for fine displays of bluebells and daffodils. NY363063

Sitting at 398 metres, this small fell has stunning views over Grasmere and to the north. A favourite walk of Alfred Wainwright (1907 - 1991), the author of the famous 'Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells', the summit stones have two names; from the north they are 'The Old Lady Playing the Organ' and from the south 'The Lion and the Lamb'.
