Walk Details
The Lake District offers many walks with amazing views and this is one of them.

We’re starting off in Rosthwaite, a small village in Borrowdale. From here we cross over the River Derwent and follow its course south west for a while. As we skirt around the back of Seatoller we get ready to start the ascent up and northwards towards the much-cherished Castle Crag fell which stands at just under 1000 feet.

Remember to prepare properly before heading out on any type of walk or outdoor activity. Tell people where you are going and what time you are expected back. As Wainwright says "There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing".
