Rambling: Wansfell and Troutbeck, Lake District

This is a circular walk from Ambleside to the village of Troutbeck via Wansfell. It’s the shortest of the ‘red’ walks in the excellent Pathfinder Guide, so made a good choice for a wet and windy day – fortunately, after an early tea at the Old Post Office tea rooms in Troutbeck, the weather was much improved. Highlights include a succession of waterfalls on leaving Ambleside and excellent views of Windermere on the return.
