On entering the Borrowdale road turn right towards Keswick. On
the right there is a large rock outcrop called Shepherd's Crag,
a popular place for climbers. 200 yards on the left, after the
Crag, is a gate. Pass through this gate and head for the bridge
over the river which flows into Derwentwater. Follow the duck boards
along the lake shore passing through a small gate towards the end
of the boards, 200 yards after the end of the boards the path branches
left onto a grassy rake leaving the gravel path. Take this path
which leads away from the lake shore, along a track and eventually
through a gate into the road. Turn left and follow the road round
to Grange. See if you can spot the old 'phone box (not working).
Cross the famous twin bridges and turn left into the Borrowdale
road which will lead you back to Greenbank.
Note - if there has been heavy rain beware as these boards can
be very slippery and the Lake level could cover them. |
