Lakeside walk
Buttermere Owned by the National Trust, Buttermere lake nestles amid the Western Fells. It’s surrounded by some of the Lake District’s most beautiful scenery, particularly the fells bordering its southern edge, including Red Pike and Haystacks. The latter was the favourite of fell-walking legend Alfred Wainwright, whose ashes were scattered on the banks of Innominate Tarn, a small lake atop the mountain.
The path circling the lake offers stunning vistas from every aspect. Relatively easy and flat, it should take two to three hours to complete the 4.5 mile loop – and don’t forget your camera! Amongst the most rewarding views is the one looking towards Fleetwith Pike, which drops steeply towards the edge of the lake.
The path occasionally weaves through woodland en route to the tiny village of Buttermere, where it’s recommended you begin and end your walk. Here you’ll find an array of places to stop for a bite to eat.
Make time to visit the small church of St James, which has a plaque in memory of Wainwright.
