A Great Walk With A Dog near Newby Bridge
Woodside and Fell View Cottages- quality accommodation in the Lakes
One of the best walks in the Central Lakes is up to, and around
High Dam.It’s a lake that was much favoured by Wainwright. In fact he
said “It is far superior to Tarn Hows” High praise indeed!
It’s a picturesque tarn near Finsthwaite and Lakeside at the southern end of Windermere. A dam was built across the southern end of the tarn in the early 1800s to supply water to the bobbin mill at Stott Park a few miles away. It is surrounded by mixed woodlands of oak, birches, larch and Scots pine to name a few that we spotted. The woodland floor is scattered with bilberry, bracken and heather.
High Dam is a circular route that can be extended up to Stott Park Heights which will afford you a view down on to Lake Windermere.
