🌄 DISCOVERING GRASMOOR: A FAVOURITE AMONG THE LAKE DISTRICT'S MAJESTIC FELLS
🏞️ I reckon I’ve got a good idea of the six most well-known fells in the Lake District: Scafell Pike, Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Great Gable, Blencathra, and Coniston Old Man. These names pop up a lot whenever there's a chat about which Lake District mountains people have scaled or are aiming to conquer. And rightly so—they're brilliant peaks, each with their own unique quirks and challenges.
🌅 Yes, they're lofty and all offer sweeping views of the Lake District’s mountains, valleys, and lakes. Climbing them can be tough, but it’s always rewarding. However, there are plenty of other grand fells in the Lake District that, in my opinion, match or even surpass these in terms of the views they offer. One of my favourites is Grasmoor.
🌲 If you’re after some of the most stunning vistas the Lake District has to offer, along with a thrilling climb, let me share a route my friends and I tackled a couple of years back. We kicked off from a car park on the eastern shores of Crummock Water and took the path along Liza Beck through the scenic Gasgale Gill. This lovely valley is dotted with charming waterfalls, and the trail occasionally calls for some mild scrambling over tricky spots.
⛰️ After about two miles, we reached Coledale Hause, a saddle nestled between Sand Hill and Crag Hill, which offers a fantastic lookout east across the Coledale Beck valley. Following a brief pause at Coledale Hause, we began our ascent up the grassy slopes to reach the summit of Grasmoor, home to some of the finest views in the Lake District.
🗻 The descent was just as delightful, taking us across Whiteless Edge to Whiteless Pike, with striking views down to Crummock Water and Buttermere. We wrapped up our 8½-mile trek by following Squat Beck through the valley beneath Rannerdale Knotts. It's a route that offers a blend of captivating views and a bit of a challenge, making for an unforgettable day in the hills on a clear day.

Okay we’d be lying if we didn’t admit there’s a fair few things were missing right now.
Sunshine and farther flung adventures are almost top of the list! There’s something about reaching the top, and rummaging through your pack to find whatever snacks you took with you and just sitting there taking in the view!

Hill Top Farm, Lake District, home of Beatrix Potter author of Peter Rabbit and Friends book series, also she loved gardening the view of the garden looking towards the house is so pretty, Beatrix Potter left lots and properties and land across the area, as she invested in farms and fields.

Had a lovely long weekend away. Stayed in Grange over Sands in Cumbria. This is what it looks like today compared with what it was like in its Victorian hey day, before the sands shifted and the water receded.
