WALKS & POETS

Orrest Head is the perfect walk from the door step with stunning views without the strenuous hike. The first fell climbed by the great walker and author Alfred Wainwright, you’ll be treading in the footsteps of the lake district legend. Starting just a short stroll from the Windermere Hotel, the gentle ascent through Elleray Wood takes about twenty minutes.

Once you reach the summit, the breathtaking 360-degree views of Windermere the surrounding fells will leave you in awe, with landmarks like the Old Man of Coniston and Scafell Pike clearly visible.
