Today's walk: Windermere Ferry - Claife Heights - Hawkshead


calm waters on the eastern shore of Windermere


the ferry approaching the eastern shore


the chains of the ferry showing as we approach the western shore


looking north from the western shore


looking south along the misty lake


arch at the now closed viewpoint at Claife Station


the path above Claife Station with Windermere below


another glimpse of Windermere from higher up the path


a stile for short sighted walkers


boats on Windermere as the path comes back to the edge looking back down on the lake


the trig point on the summit of Claife Heights in the mist


not much of a view from the top of Claife Heights even without the mist


unnamed tarn west of Claife Heights summit


Hawksheads Church glimpsed through the trees on the descent


Hawkshead from the descent path


the field path to Hawkshead


Claife Heights from the path


the old schoolhouse in Hawkshead attended by William Wordsworth
