From Great Rigg, loop back down to the rocky tor known as Stone Arthur. Then, on reaching a small road, turn left on the Coffin Route (so called because it was used to convey coffins on their final journey to St Oswald\u2019s Church in Grasmere), soon turning left again on a path that leads down through tall trees and close to the shores of both Grasmere and Rydal Water.<\/p>\n

When you reach your starting point, make sure you\u2019ve got your swimming kit in your backpack and then begin a second, smaller loop into the valley you were looking down on before to go in search of Buckstones Jump (this shorter section is far gentler on the legs and can be done as a separate 2-mile walk if you don\u2019t fancy the stiffer mountain loop.).<\/p>\n
Follow a track through the grounds of Rydal Hall<\/a>, a listed country house (where you\u2019ll find a relaxed caf\u00e9 and a picturesque grotto if you fancy a pitstop), then follow a woodland track before emerging back into open landscape, the mountains now above you as you walk through a glacial hanging valley.<\/p>\n
Follow the trail up into the valley and then head off-piste a few metres to seek out the deep pool of Buckstones Jump.<\/p>\n
