Rydal Water Attractions
The very beautiful Rydal Water lies in a sheltered situation below Rydal Fell (2,000ft/610m) and is the first lake to freeze in winter making it popular with skaters. Rydal (pop. 530) is a quiet little village on the River Rothay at the east end of Rydal Water, 1mi/2km northwest of Ambleside.
Walking through the hills and fells, and around the small lake are popular with visitors to Rydal.
