Fairfield

Fairfield is a rounded grassy peak above Ambleside and Grasmere - we did a long circuit from Ambleside and followed a ridiculously long stone wall along an exposed ridge all the way back. Loved it of course.

Langdale Pikes

We loved this popular walk up to the Langdale Pikes. It was very weird for us to be walking in a National Park with dogs and sheep everywhere, but I guess every man and his dog has been roaming these hills for many hundreds of years...and the dogs are such a delight to watch - they have so much joy plastered over their little faces.

Lake District: Easedale Tarn and Blea Rigg

The next leg of our UK holiday was the Lake District. Once we got our heads around the overwhelming number of walk options, we decided to keep it local (we were staying in Ambleside) and do a little walk to Easedale Tarn from Grasmere. This, however, was soon extended to a circuit over Blea Rigg, as we couldn't resist the urge to climb up the hills surrounding Easedale Tarn. The views over Great Langdale were gorgeous.
