Running for almost a mile along the border of Victoria Park (home to the Southport Flower Show) this delightful floral border is kept in all it’s glory by an enthusiastic group of volunteers who must be commended. Drive, or better still walk, down to appreciate this magnificent free show.

We started from Ambleside and made a steep ascent from the High Street. Made a detour to see the waterfalls first, then onto to the proper climb. Lots of shaded areas, until we got to the gate which had the stone steps begin the mammoth climb all the way to Wansfell Pike. Do-able continuously (for us as reasonable fit people exercising 4-5x/week), but even we had to stop for 10s twice, so it is tough going up. But once reaching the summit, you'll be rewarded with gorgeous stunning views of Lake Windemere, the town of Ambleside, and the panoramic view of everywhere else! We then headed towards Troutbeck tongue, but got lost halfway through, so took an alternatively route towards Troutbeck, stopped in at the Mortal Man pub (dog-friendly) for a cold pint, then continued on for another 5 km, before reaching back our BnB, via the Stagshaw gardens in the middle of nowhere! 17.8km, our feet sure felt it!

Short sharp upward walk can be avoided by parking on the Skiddaw route. However, the views over the north Lakes is something to behold.

Rode Hall is a beautiful Cheshire country house with a fine collection of English porcelain and extensive gardens.The extensive grounds include a woodland garden, formal garden and a two acre walled kitchen garden where our Head Gardener grows his record breaking gooseberries! It also provides a wide variety of flowers, vegetables and fruit which are sold at our monthly farmers' markets.Popular for our Snowdrop Walks in February when over 50 varieties of Snowdrops carpet a mile long refreshing walk along Rode Pool. Colour continues with the flowering of many species and hybrid rhododendrons and azaleas.Delightful tearooms selling homemade light lunches and cream teas. Gift shop selling Rode Hall produce and seasonal gifts.
