This easy ramble starts in the Upper car park and brings you along the shoreline of the lake. As you get deeper into the valley the rugged mountains loom high above. Here you can explore the old mining works. Don’t forget to keep an eye for Saint Kevins Bed on the other side of the lake.

This walk skirts one side of the Upper Lake on a sandy road along the floor of the valley, passing through Scots Pine woodland before reaching the ruined miners’ village. Halfway along the trail, the cave known as St. Kevin’s Bed can be seen across the lake and the views of the lake and surrounding mountainsides are impressive.
