Fairfield Horseshoe. This walk was highly rated by the local experts. The instructions were very helpful because they started from the centre of town. The path took us up Sweden Creek to the High Sweden bridge, which we crossed to the north side and proceeded up the ridge. This took us over High Pike and Hart Crag to Fairfield at 2863 feet. The return walk was as good as it gets. The path was largely on smooth grass with a slope toward Ambleside; think golf fairways. It's easy to appreciate how golf was invented by shepherds in this area. The weather conditions continued to be great; warm and dry. From Fairfield we could see Helvellyn which we hiked from Keswick. We also saw the Coast to Coast route from Gras to Patterdale. What great views.
