Keswick To Ambleside: A Bus Journey: Part 2 of 2

Continuing the journey from Keswick to Ambleside, the summit of Dunmail Raise can be seen in the distance. 

The descent of Dunmail Raise to Grasmere.  Fluffy clouds in the blue sky. 

Not the best of images, with the marks on the bus window not helping, but Grasmere - the lake  - can be seen in the distance.

The Red Lion in Grasmere. 

The bus makes its way through the narrow road that twists and turns through Grasmere. 

Onwards past Sarah Nelson's famous Gingerbread Shop which is in the white building. 

A scene that is in complete contrast with the summer months when Grasmere is thronged with visitors. 

Away from the village and onwards towards Ambleside. 

The buildings on the left are the William Wordsworth Museum, much visited, as is the adjacent Dove Cottage where William, along with his wife, Dorothy and family,used to live

Grasmere, the lake, can just be seen through the trees on the right.  

There are several walks through the woods and around Grasmere on the right,  part of the White Moss area. 

Rydal. 

Near Nab Cottage with Rydal on the right. 

Onwards towards Ambleside. 

Arriving in Ambleside where the bus has to follow a one way system around the town to reach the main stop.

It was extremely quiet here as well, with few folk venturing out. 

The loop of the town almost completed. 

End of the journey for this set of images at Kelsick Road, Ambleside. The service 555 bus continues on to Windermere, Kendal and Lancaster. One never gets tired of travelling on the 555 at any time of the year, with the changing seasons and stunning scenery.
