Buttermere & Low Fell (overlooking Crummock Water)

This mountain range can be accessed quite easily from Thacklethwait, Cockermouth, Postcode: CA13 0RP. 
It is a short, fairly easy walk up, for the reward of some brilliant views.

The shear abundance of walks around the Lake District, sometimes makes it difficult to choose where and what route to take… But this is definitely one to take if you are nearby.
As far as mountainous landscapes go, with vast, expansive views overlooking lake-land, with the addition of coastal westerly views stretching over the Irish and Scottish seas, Low Fell pike (near Buttermere), surely has to be up there as one of the best! The photo above is one of the highlights, which I feel has an almost ethereal beauty about it...


Walking up Low Fell itself also makes for fairly easy to moderate difficulty, in quite a short time period.
The view out to Crummock Water is truly awe-inspiring, which I’ve endeavoured to try do it some justice here with all of the photos shared below.

The first couple of photos below are from Buttermere Lake in the afternoon whilst taking in a walk around the lake at low level. The highlights however, were captured at Low Fell just before Dusk..
