Hiking

This peaceful woodland affords fantastic views over Bassenthwaite Lake. Wythop Woods is home to lots of wildlife too, including roe deer, badgers and rabbits, as well as rare birds such as pine martin and osprey.

Hiking

Lovely walk down through the woods after Sale Fell. Clearly marked paths and it pops you out just above The Pheasant Inn which was a welcome stop for a pint (Great food as well, went back there that evening...booking advised!)
