Thirlmere: worth exploring


A short cycle (or half-hour walk) from Brackenrigg, you'll find Thirlmere. The Western shore is just lovely, with a very quiet road to cycle, or a lakeshore path to wander along.
The Southern end provides access to Greenup Edge, which divides the Thirlmere valley from Borrowdale. The views across the lake offer a water's edge view of Helvellyn, and at the Northern end is the Victorian dam.

It is well worth exploring!
