Staveley to Bowness-on-Windermere, 7 miles
Our last day on the Dales Way. It was a relatively short day, officially only a bit over six miles on the Dales Way, but after the Dales Way ends there is a steep walk down into the center of Bowness-on-Windermere, and then more walking to get to our night's inn. |
| A last look back at the Dales as we hiked above Staveley on way to Bowness-on-Windermere. |
 |
| The style of farmhouse has changed -- we're definitely in the Lake District. |
 |
| While sheep were still the dominant livestock, cattle were more frequent now. |
 |
| Lon at the highest point of today's walk. |
 |
| Lake District peaks appear in the distance as soon as we got to the top of the first hill out of Staveley. |
 |
| We're still in karst territory. This "mysterious spring" bubbles out of the ground on the right and travels about six feet before returning underground at the left. |
 |
| Sharing the path with sheep. |
 |
| Almost at Bowness -- just a couple of miles of downhill walking. |
 |
| The official end of the Dales Way. Lake Windermere is in the background. |
 |
| We picked up our official Dales Way certificates at Hawkshead outfitters in Bowness. |
Your England pictures brought back so many happy memories! We lived in Cumbria for seven years and often went to Keswick and Windermere. Best regards to you and Lon
