Grasmere, Rydal Caves, Rydal Hall

A walk around two lakes - Grasmere and Rydal water.

The Island in the middle of Grasmere Lake is known as "The Island".

Rydal cave is a former quarry working.

"The Grot" at Rydal falls in the grounds of Rydal Hall is described in William Wordsworth's early poem, "An Evening Walk", published in 1793. The poet moved to Rydal Mount, near Rydal Hall, in 1813 and it remained his home to his death in 1850.
