10.03.2010 - Great Wood

Great Wood is a really nice walk to do for new walkers. There is a good range of uphill, flat and downhill. The uphill parts are nothing too strenuous, but you still get really good views of Keswick and Derwentwater. We went through Great Wood today with the dog, just to get out of the house really. It takes around an hour and a half to two hours, depending on how fast you walk, and towards the end you have the choice of going back down the road, or round by Calf Close Bay and along the lakeside. And either way you choose, there is always an easy way to get to the Tea Gardens, the cafe by the lake, at the end.
