After the wedding ended late (think 'dance'), I woke up early for a walk. While you can trust the distance stated for a walk, you can't trust the duration stated. At least, I can't.
The further I walked,
the mores surprises I had.
Until I knew I had to turn back.
I had a train to catch.
I don't even think I covered half the distance...
Remember to lock the gates, wandering sheep like to eat
beautiful flowers.
It was a long and quiet walk, with the occasional jogger or dog-walker.
The Rydal Caves
On the edge
Lake District can get very popular in summer. Rydal isn't even the more popular walking areas, and it was so awesome for me already. I'm not sure how the other areas can top this.
As the old couple on the train, or the then-just-married couple said, the Lake District is great because you have the fells (hills or mountains) and the lakes in the same place. The views are great and it's an accessible place for walks of different levels, with a range of accommodation options (stay at a B&B, tent or camping pod).
