Weds 25th May 2016 - A walk around Buttermere



An easy, simple, walk around Buttermere, with some shots of the Flora & Fauna that abounds around the lakeshore. Very pleasant.

Lake District Friday 27th May 2016


The weather had been pretty mixed most of the week and with risk of showers again, we elected upon a short local walk up to Crummock Water and Scale Force waterfall.

Heading up the path to nearby Buttermere and then heading right along a somewhat wet path that led us to the shore of Crummock Water after about a mile or so.

Scale Force is then about another mile or so heading left off this path away from the lake and a short hike up before reaching a footbridge and the falls themselves.

Scale force is the Lake Districts longest waterfall at 38m and you need to crane your neck to really see the slender top of the falls.

The way back follows a loop though the path does become a bit indistinct and somewhat boggy in places (as if found to my detriment in one place in particular)

More of those bluebells though.

Then an easy lakeshore take back to Buttermere and the hotel.

Our Walk Score: 6/10
