A Circular Walk with a short ascent of Latterbarrow that rewards you with great views of the Lake District's mountains and then a descent through woodland to pick up the lakeshore path to Wray Castle. This is a real treat for National Trust Members (non members can pay to get in) but even if you don't want to visit the castle the grounds are a good place to picnic. Return via the lakeshore path and then gradually up and through the forest to descend again to Hawkshead.

A rewarding hike to Hawkshead’s local fell, with fine views belying its moderate height.

A gradual climb to a renowned beauty spot - with stunning views of the surrounding area.
