About Rydal

Rydal is the hamlet between Grasmere and Ambleside, where Wordsworth lived later in life at Rydal Mount. Rydal Water is the little sister lake, Nab Scar rises behind, and Rydal Hall’s gardens are open to wanderers.

The coffin route to Grasmere and the path under Loughrigg make this a walker’s corridor as much as a place to stay.
