Hop on either the UB1, UB2, 508 or 509 to the Aira Force bus stop and treat yourself to two of the best things in this corner of the Lake District in a single day out.

Starting at Aira Force, follow the well-used path to one of the Lake District’s most spectacular waterfalls; the 65 foot cascade is well worth lingering at before you head on. Cross over the bridge and turn left onto the rough path alongside Aira Beck, following the beck upstream as the crowds thin out and the fell opens up around you. Follow the wall uphill to the summit of Gowbarrow Fell, with its great views down to Ullswater. Continue a short distance to Green Hill for an even better panorama – two summits for the price of one.

Then descend back to Aira Force by following the path around the eastern and southern sides of the fell. Don’t miss the stunning views of the lake from Yew Crag. Finish the day where you started, which feels even more impressive after the climb. Finish with a well-earned tea or coffee at the Aira Force tea room, before hopping straight back on the bus from just outside… an easy end to a great day out!
