Dist:0.2km<br/>This is part of the extensive Grizedale Forest, and is on the green cycle trail, one of a number in the forest. Here, however, are two walkers with their dog, heading back to the High Cross car park. The prominent peak to the left is Wetherlam.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The extensive Grizedale Forest is used for cycling and walking, both seen here. This is the green cycle trail, and also the route to the High Cross car park. Despite the trees the views in places are extensive. The Langdale peaks can just be seen above the trees here.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This forest road, on the north-eastern edge of the extensive Grizedale Forest, suddenly gives a lovely view over Windermere. Beyond is the double summit of Wansfell [[NY3904]] backed by the High Street range of Far Eastern fells.

Dist:0.8km<br/>In Grizedale Forest.With the number of strange Sculptures about I am not sure if this is just an old lichened gatepost or a Sculpture.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The northern tip of this particular trail through the forest just goes into this square. The rest is rough grazing, but with good views towards the fells north of Ambleside. We can see the highest peak Fairfield [[NY3511]] and to the right just by the tree top Red Screes [[NY3908]]
