A Ramble in 3 Parts 

Part 1: The newly opened link on the West Windermere Way  Newby Bridge to Lakeside 2.5miles return

Starting off from the Swan Hotel Newby Bridge as the early morning mist rose from the river Leven

The moorings alongside the river bank

Just a short walk, a little over a mile, and I arrived at Lakeside....

....and again

The ferries leave from here to complete circuits of lake Windermere

Still only 6.30am and it was a beautiful calm early morning all to myself!

The deserted booking office

This new section of path follows the route of the Haverthwaite to Lakeside Railway

Back at the Swan Hotel just a little early for the Barbecue!

The bridge of Newby Bridge over the river Leven

A delightful start to the day before I returned to the car and continued to the Morecambe bay coastline at the village of Bardsea.
