A short loop from Ambleside takes you through forest-draped trails to a remarkable 70-foot waterfall tucked deep in the heart of the woodlands. Walk right to the top for the best view from the bridge.
where to next?
Behind the same team as The Old Stamp House, The Schelly serves local flavours without the faff and fuss of typical fine dining in its 30-seat restaurant. Named after the rare freshwater fish found in Haweswater, Red Tarn, Ullswater and Brothers Water, the menu aptly has a seafood-heavy focus. Baked scallops are topped with nduja butter and seaweed butter, sea bream ceviche is nicely spiced with horseradish, and torched mackerel is served alongside fresh ajo blanco and cucumber. Order a few dishes to share, then finish with the blackberry frangipane.
