Keswick Crow park views

 Some classic views from Crow Park in Keswick, filling time before getting the bus for todays walk.














High Rigg Hike

 Starting from The Swirls car park above Thirlmere, this walk climbs onto the rugged ridge of High Rigg, a modest but rewarding fell tucked between the valleys of St John’s in the Vale and Thirlmere. The route offers views across the reservoir towards the Helvellyn range, with a mixture of rocky paths, grassy slopes and quiet, undulating terrain. Although relatively low compared with its famous neighbours, High Rigg has a distinctive character of its own, with a succession of little summits.
