Rydal - Alcock Tarn

Description

This anticlockwise loop from Rydal offers a short but challenging climb up to Alcock Tarn, where runners are rewarded with open views across Grasmere and the surrounding fells. The ascent is steep and rocky in places. From the tarn, the descent follows grassy, rocky and uneven paths before joining the Coffin Route, a more runnable section.
