    Tips

    Running

    The coffin route is named after the medieval route used to transport coffins and the dead to burial at St Oswald’s Church in Grasmere.
    It's a wonderfully runnable trail, well maintained but still slightly technical underfoot. The views over Rydal Water and onto the fells are awesome, you'll have to stop to admire them though!

    Running

    After the pull up from White Moss an interesting path with some gentle ups and downs with views to Rydal Water.
