We had a couple of days in the lakes and ferried from Ambleside to Bowness, then got the car ferry across to visit Hill Top. Walking was harder work than we thought as it was up and down and had diversions up hills to get you off the road. It was good at Hill Top. Then we walked back, keeping on the road, to the car ferry. Then got the boat back to Ambleside, when the aircraft flew over. There is a launch across the lake but it doesn’t run as often. The Kendal visit was a stop on the way home the day after.

Crossing the lake from Bowness it’s a decent distance on foot to Near Sawrey and Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top, National Trust. Here is Cuckoo Brow Inn on the walk.
Coming over the brow Hill Top comes into sight.
A USAF F15, the prime fighter of the USAF from the 1970s to fairly recent, does a sweep of the lake, followed by another and another and another. Love it!
Looking along an alley off Kendal main street there’s another world. Kendal is full of alleyways and steps into the past.
