The route to the latter is rather ‘contrived’ because of the rights of way over the superbly kept farming land. It is not open access land. Park in the square at Broughton- in Furness, grid ref 213876.

This circular walk begins at the start, then leaves it to make a loop through lovely Underlaid Wood and then return along the outward path.

This is why I decided to enjoy a touch of a winter wonderland on a walk to Sunderland Point, which I normally do in summer. It did not disappoint me.

The route cuts through wooded or scree dominated glens classified as SSSI’s (Sites of Special Scientific Interest) and across the bed of a former lake ground out by glacial action. It threads its way through the Craven Faults, which have fascinated geologists over many years and through the historic village of Ingleton which has Anglo-Saxon origins.

The first part of this walk takes you for a short way high above the lake on a good graded track. It then descends through Holme Wood, soon to visit delightful Holme Force, before dropping down through more woodland to the lakeshore. After strolling beside the lake, another easy path returns you to Maggie’s Bridge.

We thought there would be little water falling because of the heat wave, but the National Trust warden told us that this corner of Ullswater had had a heavy and prolonged storm during the night. He said he had no rain at his home in Penrith and we had none in Ulverston. The picture above shows how lucky we were. As we stood and gazed, quite spellbound, we remembered Wordsworth’s sad poem The Somnambulist.

The church, the hall, the waterfalls and the stepping stones are all stunning in their own way. Read the walk through before you set out and decide whether you can face a part, or full return, along the A591 – I’m sure Wordsworth is still turning in his grave over such a busy road cutting through ‘his’ lovely valley.

Seabirds and flowers are everywhere in the warmer months while a winter walk can be equally fascinating. Streets of old cottages lead up to the cliffs. These highpoints provided watch towers for the Celts during the Iron Ages and later the Romans had a substantial port on the headlands. This is certainly a town not to be rushed.

It is a long valley, gouged out by a glacier during the Ice Age. The head of the valley is composed of granophyre, a hard volcanic rock; the foot is of friable Skiddaw Slates, which allowed the glacier to splay out, widening the lower end of the lake, which is where this limited mobility walk takes you.

Eventually I did and have done so many times since and wondered what put me off.

A gentle saunter follows, along the airy top to the sheepfold on Low Moss. A descent below Sleet fell leads to Boredale and to Sandwick, here to return along the glorious spectacular path on the east side of the lake.

From the A66 Buttermere is reached from Newlands or from Whinlatter Pass and Lorton via the B5292 and the B5289.
