No car? You can still hike to views like this in the Lake District. 🥾🇬🇧
We hiked Loughrigg Fell Circular directly from Ambleside, making this an incredibly easy hike to add to a Lake District trip without worrying about parking or having a car.
📍 Start: Ambleside ⛰️ Summit: Loughrigg Fell 🥾 Route length: roughly 5–8 miles depending on your route ⬆️ Around 1,300–1,500 ft / 400–450 m of total climbing ⏱️ Give yourself around 3–5 hours, again depending on your route
There are several trails across Loughrigg, so you can make this a straightforward out-and-back or turn it into a longer loop, which we did.
And because Ambleside is well connected by bus, you can get here, hike from town and never touch a car.
📌Save this one if you’re planning a car-free Lake District trip. 🥾
