For a few hundreds metres a boardwalk takes you over some of the wetter ground before joining a gravel path on the fringe of [[Manesty Park]]. |

There are various paths that snake their through the park. The path we took stays fairly close to the edge of the lake in an open area of ground before closing in on a wooded peninsula. Instead of staying on the main path, just veer off to the right and follow another path that leads to the viewing point with the wooden bench. The views are incredible and a lovely spot to rest if you haven't done so already. |
There are various paths that snake their through the park. The path we took is part of the {{w1|Cumbria Way}} and stays fairly close to the edge of the lake in an open area of ground before closing in on a wooded peninsula that sits in the middle of [[Myrtle Bay]] on the left and [[Great Bay]] on the right. Instead of staying on the main path, just veer off to the right and follow another path that leads to the viewing point with the wooden bench. The views are incredible and a lovely spot to rest if you haven't done so already. |

Just further around the peninsular there were a couple of people swimming where there is easy access from a small curved beach. From here, join the main path or continue to wander through the woods. |

From here, join the main path again or continue to wander through the woods. Following this part of the Cumbria Way in a clockwise direction, you will continue through Manesty Park and into [[Brandlehow Park]]. |

'''Please note''': Do not walk into any area where there are wild bluebells growing during the spring months as footfall is potentially damaging to the longevity of these beautiful plants, of which many swathes across the Lake District are completely protected. |
