点评:We arrived in Windermere from Glasgow, having taken a train to Oxenholme and then changed to another one for a very short ride to Windermere.
Our Air BnB was just a few minutes walk from the station, we put our stuff down and hit the road for Orrest Head.
There was good signage for it so we found the entrance to the path easily.
It was a lovely walk, through lots of rustling fallen leaves and surrounded by amazing trees. There was a section that lead to some wooden sculptures (I forget what it was called) which we didnt take, but we passed a couple of incredibly carved animals on trees on the normal path too.
At certain points on the trail, there were options to take the Blue path (the easy but longer route) or the Red path (which was shorter but entailed a bit of a climb)
We opted (?regretfully) for the Red and did some serious step climbing to get up - it was do-able but tiring!
The views at the top were worth the trek, there weren't many people up there so it was really peaceful. You could see down to the lakes and the fields, and the mountains in the distance. It was cold and the sun didn't shine, and was also a bit misty, (but thankfully it didnt rain!) so it wasn't the picture-perfect photos you normally see, but it was lovely nonetheless.
The walk down was much easier, of course, and we passed a field with a friendly horse and a frisky donkey.
When we got down, we needed sustenance and went looking for a light tea. Ended up in Brown Sugar, which was a really cosy pub and restaurant. Ordered a helping of truffle fries and a cheese scone - they served us an extra scone cos they were the last ones, and they were huge! Yummy but huge, and the helping of fries was enormous too and we had to pack the leftovers home for supper!
翻译:我们从格拉斯哥抵达温德米尔,先乘火车到奥克森霍尔姆,然后换乘另一趟车,很快就到了温德米尔。
我们的Airbnb民宿离车站只有几分钟的步行路程,放下行李后,我们就出发前往奥雷斯特角。
路标很清晰,所以我们很轻松地找到了步道的入口。
这是一段很棒的徒步之旅,沿途落叶沙沙作响,四周环绕着美丽的树木。有一段路通往一些木雕(我忘了叫什么名字),我们没有走那段路,但在正常的步道上,我们也看到了几棵雕刻精美的动物树。
步道上的某些路段可以选择走蓝色路线(比较轻松但路程较长)或红色路线(路程较短但需要爬一段坡)。
我们(有点后悔地)选择了红色路线,爬了一段陡峭的台阶才到达山顶——虽然可以走完,但很累!
山顶的景色不虚此行,人不多,非常宁静。可以俯瞰湖泊、田野,以及远处的群山。天气寒冷,阳光也不明媚,还有些雾气(幸好没下雨!),所以拍出来的照片不像平时那样完美无瑕,但景色依然很美。
下山的路当然轻松多了,我们路过一片田野,那里有一匹友善的马和一头活泼的驴。
下山后,我们需要补充能量,于是想找个地方喝点东西。最后我们去了Brown Sugar,那是一家非常舒适的酒吧兼餐厅。我们点了一份松露薯条和一个奶酪烤饼——因为烤饼是最后剩下的了,他们还额外给了我们一个,而且烤饼个头很大!味道很棒,但分量也很大,薯条的分量也很大,我们不得不把剩下的打包带回家当晚餐!
