We stopped in Bampton on a day tour that covered many of the filming sites for Downton Abbey. There's a real library that has books you can check out, but we just went into the part that had displays regarding the filming. It was interesting to see the photos as to how the village was transformed for the filming. Souvenir items were for sale and because it's such a small room it was quite cramped. If you're a Downton Abbey fan, it's worth stopping in Bampton and seeing all the locations used, including the library.

We arrived at the car park at about 10am and found there was plenty of space. We took the route via Rigg which entails a short walk down the left side of the reservoir. You turn sharp left at the woods taking the left path through the ferns. From then onwards it is a straight undulating walk to the bottom of the final ascent. On the way there over Rough Crag there are a number of enjoyable scrambles over rock and great views of Haweswater and Blea Tarn, the deepest at over 200 feet. The final hike to the top is very steep and rocky in places and when we were there was extremely windy. I say this just as a warning if you have young children. Walking past the triangulation point at the summit there is a good path bearing to the left that takes you past the cairn of Mardale Ill Bell and eventually takes you to an open stone shelter. There is a path from there directly to the left taking you down Nan Bield Pass straight back to the car park. This is steep and rugged in places. You will see Little Tarn on your right and see three stone shelters on your left. Cross the stream after Little Tarn and follow the path straight down on the other side. This was a tough but very enjoyable walk.
6. Nature Treks
Wildlife walks, adventures and safaris in the beautiful English Lake District. See wild red deer, birds of prey and lots of other mountain wildlife in the company of former National Park Ranger, John White. Lots of cultural and historical interest too.
