Learn more about Thirlmere

Nestled between dramatic fells, Thirlmere reservoir offers tranquil lakeside trails where you'll spot red squirrels and rare birds. Hike to Helvellyn summit from the eastern shore for breathtaking views across the Lake District's most spectacular mountains.

Parked at Swirls Car Park and walked the Squirrel Trail which has nice views above Thirlmere and you might be lucky enough to spot a red squirrel. :)
