Some Walks Out and Back Again

Here at WalkLakes we generally try to find you walks which are circular so you're not walking the same way twice but sometimes it just makes sense to walk somewhere and then walk back. Here are some examples we've added recently:

Bleaberry Tarn


Dash Valley

• Bleaberry Tarn above Buttermere - hardly more than 2km from the village of Buttermere in the Western Lake District lies a tarn set high in the shadow of some of the finest peaks in all of Lakeland. This is Bleaberry Tarn. Its outfall cascades over the rocks of Sour Milk Gill which can be seen from both the path and from the village. Our 5km walk takes you up to it.
• Binsey - is a nice little hill, and that's not to damn it with faint praise. It's often said that to see the big hills in all their glory go to a smaller neighbour. That's very true here. Looking around from the summit much of the North of Skiddaw group are laid out, as well as the spine of Ullock Pike, Longside Edge. In the distance are the hills above Whinlatter, and west to Buttermere. Northwards to Scotland, the hills of Dumfries and Galloway are visible across the Solway Firth. In fact standing on its own, as it does, gives fantastic 360° views.
• Grisedale Tarn - nestling high in the mountains at the head of three valleys in a great scoop Grisedale Tarn has an atmospheric setting. Squeezed by the southern guardian of the great Helvellyn ridge - Dollywaggon Pike to its north, and the bulks of Fairfield and Seat Sandal to the south, its outflow treks north east through the long valley of Grisedale to the village of Patterdale.
