During the summer we are lucky enough to have a pair of Ospreys nesting in the woods above Bassenthwaite Lake.

This year we have decided to incorporate into our Skiddaw route a trip to the R.S.P.B. Osprey Viewing Point in Dodd Wood.

Along with views of the Ospreys we often get to see many other birds and squirrels as well as great views over Bassenthwaite Lake.

Tip: Bring your binoculars, there is a scope on site however, there are usually a few people waiting in line to grab a peek.
