High Spy & Derwentwater Picturesque Scenery

Pictures from my recent trip to High Spy in the Lake District, starting from the opposite side of High Spy at Barrowhouse located on Derwentwater. The route we took was a medium difficulty hike opting to take a straight line direct route up the hills and CatBells. From CatBells we carried on along the top of the hills for around 45 minutes til we reached High Spy at High Spy you get a great view of the landscape and The Dale Head. When ascending we also opting for a direct route down which took around another 45 minutes. When visiting the hills around Derwentwater and The Lake District in general the hike duration is very optional and a lot of the landscape and viewpoint links together allowing easy access once on top. The Lake District is a great location to visit during the Spring and Summer Months as the weather picks up and the sun begins to shine more and more across the beautiful lakes. #HighSpy #Derwentwater #TheLakeDistrict #England

Helvellyn

Helvellyn is the highest mountain in Lake District. As a hiking lover, how could I not going there when I visit Lake District. I took the bus from Ambleside to Windermere, and then to the start point. The best way to go is definitely drive, or I would suggest to check the bus time before you go because there’s limited bus service and it takes about 6-7.5 hours to go to the top. The view is absolutely stunning, can’t deal 😭

Castlerigg stone circle is 3 kilometers 37 minutes from Keswick by walking or you can drive there limited free parking on the road side. It is open 24 hours with no entrance fee. Castlerigg was built 4000 years ago by prehistoric farming communities for providing a setting for rituals or ceremonial activities, social exchanges and the movements of goods. The rectangle stone setting within the circle known as sanctuary, is likely to be a later addition to focus attention upon one part of the circle. Sheep is around the site, so there is a stone wall to surround it. Children can play with the sheep and climbing on the stone.
