View from the Coffin Trail

Coffin Trail walk

Folder: Lake District
The Coffin Trail is so-named because there was no church in Rydal, so coffins had to be carried around the hill to Grasmere.

I followed the walk from the bus stop in Rydal on the main road, up past Rydal Hall and on to Grasmere village.
