Dunmallet from Pooley Bridge

looking upstream to the foot of Ullswater from Pooley Bridge

the start of the path up Dunmallet

looking back down the path

fields northwards from the northern end of Dunmallet

the bank of the hill fort on Dunmallet summit

Dunmallet summit

a new permissive path now winds round the west of Dunmallet - here looking west ..

.. to houses on the Soulby Lane which I followed at the end of the walk

a glimpse of Ullswater from the new permissive path ..

.. and further on a view southwards right across the lake

on the right is the hill traversed by the new permissive path to Maiden Castle

zooming in southwards over Ullswater

Dunmallet from the shore of Ullswater

the start of the permissive green waymarked circuit to Maiden Castle

looking back at Dunmallet ..

.. and again from higher up with the foot of Ullswater below

looking southwards along the path ..

.. and back northwards with Ullswater below

Ullswater from the path

the lighter green circle is Maiden Castle with Carrock Fell in the distance

another glimpse of Ullswater with one of the steamers heading south

the hill I have just traversed from the bank and ditch of Maiden Castle

looking back along the Soulby lane

trees near Soulby Lane with the Pennines beyond

the start of the bridleway back to Pooley Bridge

Dunmallet from the bridleway

looking over the River Eamont to Heughscar Hill

swans on Ullswater hissing at an aggressive dog
