Fairfield-great-rigg-and-heron-pike-walk
This walk is a nice warm up to a spell of fell walking in the Lake District as it involves a steady climb from Mill Bridge on the A591 to Grisedale Tarn and then a steep push up to the summit of Fairfield.
From here on its a gentle walk at height to Great Rigg and Heron Point enjoying beautiful views all around until descending to the outskirts of Rydal. Then follow a bridleway to Town End before bracing yourself for another steep climb to Grey Crag and Butter Crag before descending and then ambling back to your starting point near the Travellers Rest pub.
You could call in at the pub for a well earned beverage. After all you will certainly have deserved it!
