Here's a glimpse of what awaits:

0:00 - Wray Castle
Perched above Windermere, Wray Castle isn't your typical fortress, more resembling a fairy-tale church. Today, it stands as a charming location. We hike through the picture perfect grounds, dotted with ancient trees, and soak in the panoramic lake views.

0:55 - Rydal Cave
Parking at White Moss Car Park is the perfect place to start your adventure to this hidden gem. the 30 minute walk takes you on a beautiful walk, overlooking Rydal Water and passing some of the Lake District's most beautiful scenery.

4:17 - Ambleside
Nestled in the heart of the Lake District National Park, Ambleside is a charming town that's like a step back in time. Its cobbled streets are lined with independent shops, cozy cafes, and traditional pubs, all wrapped around a picture-perfect village green.

4:54 - Windermere (Brant Fell)
England's Largest Lake and the heart of The Lake District, you also can't visit the Lake District without climbing a fell, so we headed up Brant Fell, which gives us amazing views over the stunning reflections and the surrounding mountains of Windermere, just in time for sunset!
