We started the walk from a car park just at the bottom of Rannerdale Bridge and decided to walk around the back of the valley first (High Rannerdale) to see all of the bluebells in full bloom. It is very picturesque and there is a nice beck running down as well. Steadily climbing up, we then took in the views before heading down over High House Crag to Buttermere village for lunch. Our return route followed the path at Mill Beck up through the woods then up to Low Bank. Following the path along the ridge you eventually get to Rannerdale Knotts. There are some steep climbs on this walk and sticks may be required. You do get lovely views over both Buttermere and Crummock Water. The Knotts themselves are fairly rocky so be careful, especially if you are descending this way as we did. As a circular route it was just over 6 miles
6. Newlands Pass

Trip done on a Motorcycle. From Braithwaite take Newlands Road to Buttermere taking in fantastic Views to the Waterfall at the top of the pass then dropping down into Buttermere. You will encounter narrow roads and 20% inclines so not advisable for wide vehicles and if you can't reverse. Although there are a few places where you can pull off road to take photo's. At the T junction at Buttermere take the left turn which takes you along the Honister pass again with narrow roads with fantastic rock formations lakes & spectacular views . At the top of the pass is the Honister Slate Museum with Cafe and outdoor activities you then carry on through Borrowdale Valley past Derwent Water and on to Keswick.This makes a most enjoyable day out if done on a sunny day not so good when wet!
