Orrest Head is a classic Lake District walk and a must-do during your stay. Starting just a few minutes from Lakes Boutique Hostel, this short (4.3km) but rewarding route offers stunning panoramic views over Windermere and beyond and was famously Alfred Wainwright’s first-ever Lake District walk.
The well-marked path takes you through pretty woodland before opening up to a spectacular viewpoint. It’s ideal for beginners, groups, and those looking for a quick, satisfying hike with maximum reward. A brilliant way to start your Lakes adventure.
