Grasmere, River Rothay, Rydal Water and Coffin Road walk

An easy circular walk starting from Grasmere village in the heart of the Lake District. We follow the lakeshore path around Grasmere then the footpath alongside the River Rothay to Rydal Water. You could pop into Badgers Bar for refreshments once you reach the road at Rydal. We walk through the grounds of St Marys Church at Rydal and on to Rydal Mount which was home to the poet William Wordsworth between 1813 and 1850. From here we take the Coffin Road / Coffin Route all the way back to Grasmere. When we reach the outskirts of Grasmere we pass Dove Cottage which is also where William Wordsworth lived with his family before moving to Rydal Mount. A wonderful walk with fantastic views and if you're lucky, as we were, you might spot a red squirrel along the way.

Hello. We often keep our videos fairly quiet as we like to use as much ambient sound as possible. Really appreciate your comment and are pleased you enjoyed it thank you.

Very nice video and walk, brought back good memories. Loved the commentary and red squirrel footage and seeing Grasmere again. Regards, Ashley

[@thenextadventure8079]

Pleased that you loved the commentary, only recently started adding to our videos. Glad it brought back good memories Thank you for the kind comments

[@ashleyjarnold]

This walk is in our plans for our next trip up there in October so thankyou for sharing. Just found your channel and it is right up our street. Now subscribed to you.

[@thenextadventure8079]

@@CampervanTales we would definitely recommend it. The first section is really popular. Once you get to the end of Grasmere you can have a lovely time watching dogs going in and out of the water. Rydal Cave is very close to that area too but you may know about that? It’s a great walk, fairly easy going (for the Lake District! 😀). Have a great time in October. If you need any other bits of advice we are happy to send them. Thanks so much for subscribing….hopefully a couple of other videos on our channel for Lake District walks will be helpful.

Lovely video and scenery - thank you ❤

We appreciate the kind comment, thank you

A lovely (if rather wet) walk, and the commentary added to it -- thank you! There had clearly been a rather excessive amount of rain recently, even for the Lake district.

[@thenextadventure8079]

The commentary was a seed you sowed back when we filmed the 17 miles of the Dales Way. I think you’re right, commentary and captions add to the film. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment again this year Jim, we appreciate it. All the best for 2024

We did this very same walk a couple of years ago..it was lovely...we were on the lookout for Red Squirrels all of the way round....it wasn't until we got back to Grasmere that we saw one...running up the main road through the village....enjoyed your video.

[@thenextadventure8079]

Glad you enjoyed it, that’s not the first time you’ve done the same walk. You know what they say “great minds think alike” I think we were lucky to see two Red Squirrels, always great to see even if it’s running up the road…
