Route: Troutbeck Two Bridges Circular
A gentle walk from Troutbeck Church, climbing gently up to a beautiful view of Windermere, returning via a footpath that goes over Trout Beck and then back to the church. This is a great walk for kids who may not want to do "proper" fell-walking and has great spot for a picnic next to the beck. There are ample opportunities to stop for tea (or something stronger) at the beginning and the end of the walk as the village of Troutbeck is only a few yards from the start and finish points.
Please note that these directions are for general guidance only - you should verify their accuracy against Ordnance Survey Map OL7 before beginning a walk!
