Treetop and Calgarth Lodges

Now this is a walk and a half – it had to be done so we drove the 5 miles or so to Glenridding from Tree Top Lodge (our log cabin at Limefitt Park in the Lake District) one fine day in September – and voila – 7 hours later we were back again having strode the striding edge and seen some of the most amazing views of the Lake District we’ve seen to date! We started off walking on a fairly level terrain – which soon turned into a steeper trail and resulted in clambering up and over the rocks of the edge itself – excellent in the semi nice weather we had but I wouldn’t fancy it in the rain and fog – and to get all that way and not have the fantastic views would be such a shame!!! Returning to the lodge at the end of the day is ace – a nice hot shower, change of clothes (and footwear!!!) then we were sitting out on the patio having a nice relaxing, well earned glass of wine – feet up and planning not to do too much tomorrow!!
