A wonderful ramble to Alcock Tarn in the footsteps of Wordsworth.
7.75 miles - fairly strenuous or 3 miles - easy
You will enjoy stunning views over Grasmere on the initial climb to Alcock Tarn, then relax on the easy return along the shores of Grasmere and Rydal Water. In spring, see the wonderful displays of bluebells on the slopes of Loughrigg, or the daffodils in Dora's Field.
