Catbells Terrace


Barry and Skye on Terrace


Being able to walk along the terrace path on the slopes of Catbells in all seasons is one of the joys of living in the Lake District and in particular Keswick. If you have never visited the Lake District and in particular Keswick it is a wonderful introduction to the area.  Several of Keswick Rambles' walks use all or part of the Terrace path and in particular Halle and Alison will be leading a half day grade C walk here on Wednesday 13th April. Yesterday Barry accompanied Skye and I  on a circular walk along the Terrace and back along Derwentwater lakeshore.  It was a mild, slightly misty spring morning with no wind - delightful walking weather. We could see figures up on Catbells ridge and we met various people (and dogs!) along the way.  Skye always enjoys this walk particularly through the woods along the shore of Derwenwater where there are plenty of sticks - small ones to be thrown into the water and big bent ones to be carried!
