Rydal Water

This crystal-clear lake is perfect for a waterside stroll. There’s a path that skirts round the banks, winding past William Wordsworth’s old house. Here’s a tip: for the most atmospheric walks, head down just after sunrise, when the mist hanging over the lake creates an air of mystery.

    There is a choice of paths running alongside this lake giving wonderful views of the lake and surrounding mountains/hills. For much of the way there were grassy wooded slopes full of bluebells and other wild flowers. It's a tranquil area.

    My partner and I stayed here in March 2022 and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful giving us info on where to go in the evening. Great location for hiking up in the fells (few different trails to chose from), walking around Grasmere and Rydal Water and can easily walk to Ambleside. The breakfast was also amazing. Already decided between us that we will be returning!
