Loughrigg Fell just on the outskirts of Ambleside is a superb vantage point for the surrounding fells.
For one so short in stature it makes up for any lacking in height by having fantastic views all around and an interesting, complicated top.
Starting in the popular town of Ambleside this walk takes you over the top of Loughrigg Fell, along the airy Loughrigg Terrace and the permissive path to Rydal Cave. The return to Ambleside is along the quiet Under Loughrigg road. Rydal Cave is a man made quarry which in its heyday of the 19th century produced high quality roofing slates.
Whilst access to the cave is not difficult and many people do cross the stepping stones to its interior. Be aware that occasionally blocks do fall from the ceiling!
