The meadow after this is often filled with grazing sheep and geese that are resting from a long day flying. The open waterside here is perfect for people watching as it creates a space for families to let the children run wild.
The last stretch of this walk brings you back through some woodland. At the very furthest edge there is a bench that looks out over the Lakeland fells and it one of the most stunning views in the whole of the Lake District.
