Hi FF7824, thank you. We stayed a bit to long in the pub the previous night so this was a bit more strenuous than expected. You walk a lot of height in a short time but once we started getting the fabulous views its amazing how your energy levels seem to increase. The walk was much better than we thought it would be, just fantastic and very peaceful and we almost had it to ourselves. All the best The Taxi Driver.
Never fails to amaze me the truly stunning beauty of the Lakes. I used to live about 3/4 of an hour away and never visited it often enough. Thanks for taking us with you :)
Hi Sunrise seven, we should of done these walks at Thirlmere along time ago. As you leave the A66 and head towards Grassmere with part of the view of Thirlmere lake covered by trees your expectations are for something better ahead, how wrong can you be. We think the whole area around Thirlmere is as good as anywhere in the Lakes and the walk up High Rigg was a revelation with the views. As we dropped down the otherside to the church and walked back following St John's Beck it was very quiet and peaceful. All the best The Taxi Driver
WoW ! This is a stunningly beautiful area ! Beautiful at every turn and such a variety of terrain all around. Always love the patches of bluebells. Such a lovely church. The variety of colors everywhere is just amazing ! Such a peacefulness everywhere. I so enjoyed this fabulous walk ! Thanks so much, John and Janice ! Best always, Andrea
Hi Andrea sorry for the late reply. This certainly turned out to be an amazing walk. Compared to the fells all around this looked a small one but the views from the top were amazing. We were surprised at how few people were up there. We loved walking along the old cart track this would of been the main way into the valley before the tarmac roads were built. We love the Lakes but the weather this year has been very unsettled so it has been hard to get there again and we are hoping the weather will settle down soon. All the best John and Janice
Hi Darryl, thank you. We love Thirlmere there is plenty of parking and at the moment both car parks at either end of the lake are free until further notice. We certainly think the two walks we did here are as good as any walk in the Lakes, they were so relaxing and peaceful with amazing views. All the best The Taxi Driver
Hi Albion we had a cuppa on top of High Rigg because we didn't know the cafe was there until we spoke to the farmer but it certainly was in a lovely setting. All the best The Taxi Driver
