Start at the pretty village of Finsthwaite, a short drive away from April Cottage. Walk through stunning countryside, woodland and along the quieter southern shores of Lake Windermere. From the car park in Finsthwaite it is possible to walk up man made paths all the way to the Dam. If starting from the village itself on foot, you can walk up through beautiful country side, but look out for way finder signs as it is easy to go off piste.
