Absolutely love this walk! It's a must for people who aren't as athletic and still want to experience the beauty and the views of the lakes, it's just a short walk from windermere and only takes you about 30 minutes to get the top! Which didn't take me long! absolutely breath taking views and a lovely pub just a short walk from it ????

Halfway through the Keswick 3 peaks route and my brother and I reached this gorgeous crag. It takes you up along a steady climb with stunning views to the west of Derwent Water.

Had a lovely couple of hours walking Danny & Jasper around the Lingholm estate, our guide Natasha was very knowledgeable and super friendly, the alpacas were delightful, great weather, gorgeous scenery and beautifully kept grounds, we also booked the afternoon tea which was taken in the conservatory with a view of the walled garden and the lake, a perfect afternoon in a perfect location.

8. Claife Viewing Station
Overall Ratings

This Victorian Viewing Station is the perfect place on the beautiful west shore, to take in a panoramic view of Windermere. Wander up the Viewing Station as the first tourists to the Lakes did hundreds of year before you. Don't miss the cosy cafe in the courtyard and the striking vistas from the top of the station.

A lovely place to view the lake. Easily accessible for most via the foot ferry. For those who cant manage the walk there is disabled parking and more parking nearby. The viewing station is lovely and there is nice interpretation in place explaining the building. The cafe is small and dog friendly. Food looked nice, which is served from compostible containers due to the lack of water on site. I just had a hot choc to warm up by the welcome log burner and my dog an ice cream to cool down by the log burner!

We walked through the church and followed the signs to find a wonderful panoramic view - the sun was out and it was a beautiful evening ... the view takes your breath away and its as John Ruskin described it .. Take a while and scan the view and sit a while .. tranquility ..

A lovely walk and a great place to enjoy the panoramic views. A few steep steps to the top of the viewing platform and a dial at the top to get your bearings
