Today we had a late afternoon walk up to Gummer’s How after visiting Fell Foot park at the foot of Windermere. The views were rather hazy today but with it being so late we witnessed a stunning sunset that lit up the evening sky to the west.
Before we went to Gummer's How we paid a visit to Fell Foot at the southern end of Windermere - for cake and drinks of course!
There is a lovely view of the full length of Windermere from here.
