    A beautiful part of the Lake District and relatively few other people in May. Plenty of walks, easy around the lake and more challenging into the hills. Pooley Bridge offers a choice of tearooms...

    Don’t overlook the beauty of the South side of the lake, it has so much to offer. I had a fantastic day walking from Martindale today, bagging five Wainwright’s in a horseshoe starting at Beda Fell...
