Fells
Route
Great Wood up to Walla Crag, Bleaberry Fell, then the notoriously boggy ridge to High Seat and High Tove, out-and-back to Armboth Fell, then down to Watendlath and back via Ashness Bridge and the woodland path above the lake road to Great Wood.
Dog hazards
Walla Crag drops away precipitously with little warning - dogs on leads by the edge; a step stile at the summit with drops beyond, and a small rocky step on the descent. The ridge between Bleaberry and High Tove is the wettest walking in the Lakes.
Scrambles
None.
Water
Lots of peaty water; Watendlath Tarn, Derwentwater.
Livestock
Sheep; cattle in Ashness area fields.
