.Autumn is famously lovely in the Lake District, and thisyear is no exception - in fact many people are saying that the colours are even better than usual!
Shoulthwaite Ghyll was one of Wainwright's favourite spots - it is a beautiful hidden valley just up behind brackenrigg, with gorgeous streams & waterfalls, and views towards Lonscale Fell (the eastern flank of Skiddaw) and Blencathra, and between them to the pyramidal Great Calva.
The walking in the valley is delightful, and extremely peaceful -somedays there's as many deer as humans!
