Walking from Rowling End and the Mouse House

Rowling End and The Mouse House provide the perfect base for walking and mountain biking in the Lakes. It is quite possible to spend a week here walking from the house without repeating your route, which makes it entirely possible to have a holiday from your car too.

This area of the Lake District is covered in Wainwright’s book of the North Western Fells, and two of his favourite walks - The Coledale Round and The Newlands Round - are perfect to be walked from Rowling End.

There is a map of the area hanging in the boot room at Rowling End to help you plan your walk. Please note that the weather can change very quickly and the fells can become a dangerous place so please do take the necessary care when setting out: walking boots, waterproofs, map, whistle, water etc.

From the House - Big Walks

The Newlands Round
Starting with Hindscarth (or Robinson if you prefer) over Dale Head which gives the most spectacular views, down to Dale Head Tarn and then turn to come across High Spy and down across Maiden Moor looking across Borrowdale and Lake Derwentwater. The walk down across Maiden Moor is sublime.
