A walk with some small ups and downs in one of the most picturesque valleys of the Lake District.
From the path below Whiteside, to a short climb up Brackenthwaite Hows, we then descend through woodland where red squirrels hide out, reaching the edge of Crummock water and a shoreline path. On arriving in Rannerdale, a spectacular display of bluebells covering the fields is a sight worth seeing. A steady ascent of Rannerdale Knotts provides amazing views of the entire valley, followed by a steep descent and a return to the start.
