Ullswater Way Pathway with Daffodils and Bluebells

Highlight • Trail

we got the boat down from pooley bridge and walked back, sign posted all the way but one of the farmers field was water logged and caused people issues along the way so take it easy. slow and steady wins the race

Wether Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Wether Hill is a 2,211-foot (671 m) Wainwright fell in the Far Eastern Lake District National Park. Whilst it can be hiked on it's own or with its neighbour Loadpot Hill, Wether Hill is commonly walked as part of the Fusedale Round or as part of a longer walk - the Martindale Horseshoe. The Helvellyn range looks impressive from here but you can even see as far as Scafell and the Old Man of Coniston from the summit of Wether Hill.

Loadpot Tarn

Highlight • Natural

A great view of the Helvellyn range, not visited regularly due to the marshy conditions from Arthurs Pike direction. Often full of dragonflies on warm, light wind days.

Loadpot Hill Trig Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

Loadpot Hill is a 2,205-foot (672 m) Wainwright fell in the Lake District National Park. The summit is a broad, grassy plateau and there is a trig point present. The Wainwright summit of the fell does not appear to be the trig pillar itself though so purist Wainwright baggers will have to walk 260 feet (80 m) SW of the trig point to find that. The majority of people however will tap the trig pillar, admire the views and continue along the ridge to Wether Hill.

Arthur's Pike summit

Highlight • Viewpoint

Arthur's Pike is a 1,749-foot (533 m) Wainwright fell in the Far Eastern Lake District. Being on the very eastern edge of the group of 214 Wainwright fells you'd think that anything worth looking at would be to the west of the summit but that's not true. You can see many of Wainwright's Outlying Fells of Lakeland from here (like Dunmallet, Heughscar Hill and Knipescar Common), plus on a good day the mountains of the North Pennines including Cross Fell.

The Cockpit Stone Circle

Highlight • Historical Site

This is an impressive stone circle on the ancient High Street roman road, measuring 89 feet (27 m) in diameter.

Because of its antiquity, it's unclear what it was actually for; common theories include rituals and gatherings or more prosaically simply as a (surprisingly elaborate) signifier of land ownership.
