The Eastern Fells occupy the region between the A591 Keswick to Ambleside road and the lake of Ullswater to the west. The Helvellyn range forms the main spine of the group. To the south across the depression of Grisedale Hause, is the Fairfield group of fells.
Today I was leading an elderly lady onto the fells for a nice circular walk! We started from Lowther Park then headed up through Askham up the bridleway onto Heughscar Hill. After enjoying the view we walked South to Ketley Gate then over Moor Divock to the minor road, where we turned left and went into Helton village. From here we followed another bridleway to Whale before heading North beside the river Lowther and then through the woods back to the start.
