7. Around Langdale Valley
This breathtakingly beautiful valley runs west of Ambleside up to the Langdale Pikes. Pike is a local term for peak. It includes the lovely village of Elterwater with its pub and a scattering of craft shops, Chapel Stile and the various pubs along the B5343. There are countless walking routes, both low and high level.
Elterwater
This small, reed-fringed lake often has fantastic reflections of the Langdale Pikes. There is a relatively flat walk from Elterwater village past the lake towards Skelwith Bridge.
