Lakes District
... after and we took a drive to Windermere for more photos and a quick walk. Everything combined to create some great scenery, the setting sun making golden the high fields, and the leave-less woods and trees. Roads and fields in the area, as well as many streams and paths were bordered by chest high stone walls that wandered as high as the snow line.

A day in the Lakes
We spent the day in Windermere and Grasmere today. Poor Nick had planned an 8 mile hike for us, which was then reduced to a portion of the trail, which was further shortened to a few walks around the towns.
