The Lake District offers some of the best views available in the UK and walking trails that rival any country. The area offers a plethora of ‘lake walks’ around the sprawling bodies of water with some routes travelled much more often than others.

The Buttermere Walk is one of the easiest hikes to take in the Scottish wilderness with a flat, 4.5 mile path nestled amongst the mountains that ring the lake. “Even without setting foot off the valley floor you feel like you are right at the heart of these giant peaks,” the Lake District’s website describes. Adventure content creator, @JoshAdventures_ visited the surreal spot to embark on the remote lake walk and was left amazed by its tranquil beauty.

Josh’s TikTok account has amassed more than 14,000 followers with whom he shared various travel videos and crowns Buttermere as “one of the best walks you can do.”

He added: “Every step [of the walk] you get amazing vies of the whole lake.”

The video shows Josh coming across a “secret tunnel” in the form of an open cave walkers have to wander through to continue their journey - suitable footwear is advised as this part of the trail is particularly muddy.

“Although it still gets busy here, cause it is tucked away from the other spots…it might be less crowded than some of the other, nearby spots.

“You’ll definitely want to take longer than the two hours it takes to walk around the lake because the views are fantastic. Take some time, soak up the vibes and explore the little waterfall just off the path.

“And, if you’re very very lucky, like me, you’ll get to meet some of the locals - these Highland cows.”

The Scottish Highland natives are known to roam the area near the Buttermere Walk so lucky travellers can stumble across the majestic animals.

Buttermere has been a classic walk since its early days with the first Victorian tourists visiting.

On its western side, a bridleway hugs the lakeshore before making a steady climb through the tall trees of Burtness Woods.

This pathway can be linked with the road along the valley to form a loop that mirrors the Victorian walking route and takes in much of the same scenery for those on mountain bikes.
