The Lake District has endless opportunities for trail runs of any length and as much vertical as your legs can take! It comes into its own when you can get up onto the high mountain ridge lines for a long day out ticking off lots of summits. Unfortunately the weather in the Lakes doesn’t always suit a day up high… This little loop from the picturesque village of Grasmere makes a good bad weather option to get out on the fells and still enjoy some classic Lake District terrain and scenery (if you can see it!) And don’t forget to stop of at Sarah Nelson’s Grasmere Gingerbread shop to sample the best gingerbread in the world!
