[2025 South Lakeland District Attraction] Travel Guide for Rydal Cave (Updated Apr)

We stayed in Yha windermere hostel and it was worth it, Tip1. Buses comes after 1-2 hour, plan it before head and few days doesnt run as well. Tip2. Around 5 most places are closed, start early Tip3. If you are with elders or kids and doesnt have car than opt for lakeside taxis app and it was convenient or if alone you can get cycle from the station and keep your luggage around the area Tip4. Dont forget to visit gingermere for ginger bread, only they make it. Tip5. Must try sticky toffee pudding, we did at amberside. Tip6. You should try elderflower sparkling water, i personally liked it.

We went to Rydal Cave recently after seeing beautiful pictures on the internet, and it was a nice walk from parking. Best make sure to wear the right clothes especially shoes as your feet are likely to get wet, even if it doesn’t rain! Be careful of mountain bikes though. There are some hills and there can be bikes coming down - We had a few near-death experiences in this one trip! Before and after visiting the cave there’s also plenty of beautiful nature to explore and appreciate around the Lake District :) #Lakedistrict #nature #localguides #familytrip #relax #Uk

Rydal Cave is near the town of Grasmere. I highly recommend a visit. Today's weather is pretty good. It's very quick to walk from the parking lot to the lake, less than 15 minutes. I saw some people swimming today, and there were also people having a picnic nearby. If you walk further up, you will see the Rydal Cave, which is very easy to walk up. Rydal Cave is a cave that is surrounded by trees and rocks. The cave itself is a unique rock formation with large caverns and arched entrances. When you enter the cave, there is a sense of adventure and exploration. The interior of the cave is damp and the walls are covered with moss and ferns. It is said to have been the inspiration for the famous poet William Wordsworth. For he lived in nearby Grasmere, and visited the cave often, and mentioned it in his writings, immortalizing its beauty in poetry. Rydal Cave 📍Rydal, Ambleside LA22 9LW, United Kingdom #Halloween2023
