The wonderful ridge of Silver How divides the Vale of Grasmere and the Langdale Valley, it's rambling rocky ridge descends from High Raise and Blea Rigg over Silver How before descending further towards Ambleside over Loughrigg Fell. This route takes in much of the wonders of this delightful ridge, climbing above the village of Elterwater combining wonderful views with stunning scenery and good walking. |

| "It is the rough slopes that delight the eye, for the intermingling of crag and conifer, juniper and bracken, is landscape artistry at it's best." |
