Top 10 Lookouts in Lake District, England
Cumbria's valleys and fells (as the low mountains are known) are home to idyllic villages, high moorlands and picturesque lakes. Literary buffs will enjoy Wordsworth's Dove Cottage (go in March to see daffodils), and if you've got kids in tow, visit The World of Beatrix Potter. Or just enjoy a leisurely drive through beautiful scenery.

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
4.5 based on 165 reviews
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!

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

As challenging as Top Gear's stunts, this is a lovely drive down from the tops near Troutbeck into Ambleside. Scenery is superb and fortunately there are places to pause for the views.
