Whinlatter Forest
United Kingdom
High up on the heights to the west of Keswick lies the extensive plantations of England’s only true mountain forest. Rising sharply to 490m it encompasses 4.6 sq. miles of pine, larch, fir, cypress and spruce as well as native broadleaves including birch and oak. This is Thornthwaite Forest, planted in 1919 which we reach via the Whinlatter Pass, one of the easiest passes to traverse in the Lakes. The forest park is a designated red squirrel reserve and nearby Bassenthwaite Lake is home to magnificent nesting ospreys in the summer months. Roe deer, badgers, foxes and buzzards all live here too so keep a look out, you may be in luck and spot one of these beautiful, elusive creatures. On the way back down from the summit, you can stop, get out and gaze down on dreamy Bassenthwaite and the majestic surrounding hills. Great photos on a clear day..
