One part of this path goes from the house to the impressive Aira Force waterfall. At the south end of the lake there is access to high level walking in the Helvellyn range and Place Fell. As well as proximity to fabulous high and low level walking and cycling this area provides activities ranging from lake based adventures, sailing and canoeing, to adrenaline fuelled abseiling, canyoning and cliff jumping.
