💚 Friday Feature 💚

Best October walks in the Lakes 🥰

With the stunning colours and quieter routes, Autumn in the Lakes is one of our favourite times to enjoy a country or coastal walk 🍁

The Buttermere round is stunning in the October colours, the Autumnal colours dance on the Lakes reflection 😍

If you fancy being amongst the trees, head to Borrowdale - the most wooded valley in the Lakes 🌳 Due to being surrounded by trees here, the leaves are truly special this time of year and offer a beautiful backdrop for a walk 🍂

The coffin route at Rydal is equally as appealing, take in the scenery and end up at Grasmere afterwards for some famous Grasmere Gingerbread! 🙌

Or for some fresh sea air head to St Bees and walk along the cliffs towards historic Whitehaven 🧜‍♂️

Where is your favourite Lakes spot in October? 🧡
