It's Spring and we're back for another hike! It's 6am, so you'll get to see the Lake District scenery in the beautiful morning mist.
This time, we weave our way through the forest before heading down to explore along the shores of Thirlmere. We will then head up the short but steep ascent to the high point of Raven Crag, a Wainwright.
We visit various viewpoints along the way and explore the old Wythburn church as well as the controversial history of Thirlmere reservoir.
I hope you find this a peaceful watch 😊

Tip: If you want to do this walk but reduce the distance, you can make this a linear walk by simply hopping on the 555 bus that runs along Thirlmere reservoir.

Hi, I’m Chloe. I grew up in the lovely Devonshire countryside though, seeking wilder and more rugged landscape, now live in Cumbria on the edge of the Lake District with my husband Ryan and our spaniel, Cam, Join us on our adventures in the fells. We love wild camping and swimming, climbing, hiking the Wainwrights, scrambling, fell running and exploring historical sites. I hope our videos give you a moment of calm and cosiness and a little inspiration to get out on your own adventures.

You have a wonderful eye for a camera angle, and a great ear for a complimentary soundtrack. The combination of the two generate incredible emotive scenes. I’m an old, crusty, see it all, done it all, kind of guy, but I don’t mind admitting that this video made me shed a tear. You bring out the beauty in everything you experience so well. Thank you so much. x
Aw bless you, I always want to portray the character of the landscape rather than it be a backdrop, if that makes any sense!
You are the only content creator that truly makes me feel like I am tagging along on a wondrous adventure. I always feel like I am transported into some far away fantastic Realm. Definitely one of the few creators that stirs that excitement within when I see your postings. Thanks so much for sharing your journeys with us.☺
Aw thank you! That's nice feedback 😊
Try itchy boots. She also is amazing, travelling the world
Like a travelogue and a missing book from Tolkien with an amsr soundtrack. Wonderful
Aw that's the nicest 🥺 So glad you felt the Tolkien inspiration I always get form this landscape.
* Magical * Enchanting * Relaxing * Beautiful * Thank you Chloe wonderful filming 🥰
Thanks so much Lynn ❤️
Through your eyes we experience that is mystical and magical. Beautifully filmed and edited. Well done Chloe. 👏🤗
😊
As always with your videos, I'm transported to middle earth. I watch expecting any minute to see one of those glorious old trees to up-root and walk along with you. Beautiful work as always
Aw thank you, the best compliment I could get is that it has a touch of middle earth haha 🙏
Writing from Northern California. Magnificent video, as always. There was not a moment where I wasn't transfixed. The brief shot at 14:28 showing waterfall to waterfall with rusty colors on either side of the deep ravine was impossibly beautiful.
Not only is the scenery beautiful to watch! The detail and edit to this video along with the background music is fantastic and the young lady is beautiful to look at too.
There is something incredibly magical about your videos! Happy 2 years on KZhead, thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures with us 🙂
Thanks so much, appreciate your words 🙏
Another wonderful video Chloe. So relaxing to watch and hearing the birdsong accompanying the music is like therapy for the soul.
I just loved how it seemed to be singing for the whole lake/valley 😄
First ! here in North Georgia we have foothills & the Appalachian Trail so definitely plenty to do but Chloe has the English Countryside that is so beautiful! Thank you for these outstanding videos & short moments where we can fellowship with You & Cam! 🫡🫡🫡
I was watching a video on the Appalachia today! Thanks for being here 🙏
I hear you. I spent many years at Ft Benning/Bragg as a Para and miss the "green tunnel" of Georgia. I'm training for the AT now and hope to start in May.
Wow, magnificent and stunning views as always. Absolutely beautiful and with very nice music too, bravo. If only that old Chapel could talk 🤔. Can definitely see fangorn forest there 😉. The Springer is looking well and very healthy, well done 👏 👍
Thank you, he's doing very well 🙏
I couldn't help but smile as I clicked on this video.....'Thirlmere' caught my attention. I was there on 12th March, in Wythburn Church car park, ready to climb Helvellyn taking in Dollywaggon Pike on the way. Unfortunately, the weather was just too bad, with really low clag and frequent light showers. The info board in the car park showed an alternative hike...the "Thirlmere Loop". 'Ah', I thought, 'I'll do that instead'. What promised to be an interesting, low-level, 10 mile ramble around the reservoir turned into a 15 mile trudge...a war of attrition with the worsening weather! The most extreme conditions I've ever hiked in! It was still beautiful though. I see things had calmed down somewhat, for your visit there. I am returning there in 2 weeks, from my home in Cornwall, as I have unfinished business with Helvellyn!! Thanks for a lovely video Chloe. I've subbed...also subbed to you on Insta.
Oh no, that's a shame, especially coming all the way from Cornwall! We used to drive up from Plymouth so appreciate that. So hope your next trip is better. It has been a very long Winter! Thanks so much for subscribing 😊
Always love your videos. Absolutely stunning photography, you are highly talented. I'm currently watching the Lord of the Rings films for the thousandth time at the moment, and I thought I was watching the extras with stunning views and music. Thank you for your efforts. You are one of the best KZhead channels.
Aw haha thank you. Imagine being an extra. I saw something on Facebook the other day from someone who got to be an extra. He was in scenes like the elves going to the undying lands, at Helm's Deep, Osgiliath, what a dream!
Beautiful scenery, thank you!
Beautiful photography, the colours are amazing and the bird calls are blissful. Thanks Chloe.
Thanks for coming along 🌲🐦
Whatever subtle tweaks you’ve made to bring out those rusty hues it works for me. Really nice bit of filmmaking❤
Thank you, always love the Autumn tones.
Thank you for sharing your incredible & criminally under-subscribed channel, your content is inspiring.
Ahh thank you 😊 Glad you enjoy it.
Happy two year yt anniversary! Where I live, near the Harz mountains, we have a lot of forestry plantation as well. Or had, rather, most of it is dead at this point due to dryness and pests. The sight is occasionally gruesome. You keep having to remind yourself that the forest will regenerate, if we just let it. At least in the national park, they're letting it do its thing, and in the summer you walk through meadows now instead of forest.
Oh I've just Google the Harz mountains, looks stunning! It's more an issue of space here. Our native trees and forests have been cleared for agriculture, the reservoir and forestry plantation. The plantations don't hold much merrit for wildlife, not like the old mature native woodland does. There are regeneration works happening though.
Beautiful 💕
Love the bird songs & the sounds of rushing water. Thanks for capturing & sharing this beautiful hike with us. 🙂
Thanks for coming along Bill 🐦

Favourite ❤❤❤
Raven crag...one of my favourite walks. Love the Iron Age fort on the back side of the fell.
I wish I had more camera battery to shoot a bit longer around there (even expended the battery pack) 🙈 It is a great one to explore though!
Absolutely beautiful ❤️. I love everything about your channel and am grateful you created it. Thank you so very much Chloe. So good to see you doing well 🙏
Thanks as ever Larry 😊
Beautifully shot, looks like another stunning location. Those childhood imprints are so powerful, I went down on my bike to the Isle of Cumbrae off the west coast of Scotland last year, we used to go there for holidays when I was a kid and it was such a great day cycling round and seeing all the places we used to play and having ice cream in a cafe that's still the same 20+ years later.
Sounds lovely, I have been wanting to get back to Scotland.
Great video. So calming and atmospheric. I Love seeing dogs living their best life.
😊 He absolutely loves exploring.
Just found your channel and wow….. love the cinematic feel and the colours. The sounds transport you into the Lake District. Thanks
Ahh thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing, great work, keep it up, love all your work.
Thanks Gary!
What a beautiful hike. I love the Tolkien references. It all speaks to my soul.
Haha I always try and get them in somewhere 😊
Superb - thank you for sharing your walk 😊
Thank you for watching 😊
Incredible production quality as always on these videos. Brilliant mood setting and story telling! Brightened up the grey skies of my afternoon in New York!!🙏🙏
Aw so fun to hear that you are watching all the way from New York!
Every moment of this video was breathtaking! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures! Always look forward to the next one! ❤
Aw thanks Carol 😊
Outstanding as always
Thanks for watching 😊
Amazing 👍
That was a little slice of heaven, thank you x
Thank you 🙏
@@FablesandFells no worries, thank you for all your effort and the KZhead algorithm for making the suggestion x
I love watching your hikes, been watching many video's about the area. Can't wait to check it out again, preferably in late season when there are less people. Love to jump into a pond or lake, stream for a cold dip :) it's such a gorgeous place, just love it. You make beautiful video's and they are so enjoyable, such a relaxing and calming voice, . Thank you :) I'll be back soon!!!!
Thank you, glad you find them peaceful. Unfortunately Thirlmere is a reservoir, so swimming isn't permitted due to the dangers, though there are plenty of other spots of course. Hope you enjoy your return trip 🙏
Stunning Chloe, I haven’t ventured into Thirlmere but I will be now. Your videos are at another level to any I have seen before. You seem to be living the dream, keep enjoying and let us share it with you.
Thanks so much Raymond! I hope you enjoy your wanders around Thirlmere 🙏
Incredible cinematography and music, you should be very proud of what you create.
Thank you 😊 I always have instant yikes when I publish, as I'm very much an introvert/hermit 😅 But I enjoy sharing the landscape.
That’s such a beautiful and relaxing video, you made my lunch hour so chilled😊
Aw that's lovely to hear 😊
Beautifully shot! Seamless blending between the drone and handheld camera footage. Very peaceful viewing.
Thank you 😊
Just discovered your channel - I don't think I've ever subscribed so fast. The effort you put into making this is so appreciated. It was a real joy to watch, I felt like I was plunged right into the gorgeous scenery and the world you created. Thank you ❤

I bet! Hope it's with you soon 🙏
Another wonderful video. And Happy Birthday!
Thank you!
Great video, think I crossed paths with you today (Friday 19th June), up near Girisedale Tarn around mid-day. I was walking my black cocker spaniel. Keep up the great work!
Thank you, though not me! Hope you enjoyed your walk 🐾
Beautiful scenery, beautiful filming and atmosphere, wow! Greetings from beautiful Bavaria! ✌😊❤
Thanks for watching! Bavaria is indeed stunning!
Oh wow👏👏👌 That so good. A feast for the eyes and ears. 6.30am good to start early best time. Nice to hear about why you love hiking and camping. Lovely bench to sit and take the views in. Excellent vid. Thanks for that.🫡👋
Thanks for watching. It's not always fun getting out of bed early but always worth it once you're there!
Wonderful scenery and fantastic photography together with emotive background music makes for simply magical and relaxing viewing. Your voice is so calming too. Thank you.

Beautiful film as always Chloe and I regularly head up onto that view point of Raven Crag. Thoroughly enjoyed this cinematic film, well done. Love Mike ❤️
Ahh really, it's such a spot isn't it! While I normally prefer the landscape in its raw state, the boardwalk is quite fun and really sets up the view.
Thanks for a chill out in a fondly remembered idyll. Most grateful. You have a good eye. Visual and spiritual.❤
Thank you 😊
I just discovered your channel and your video was very lovely!!!!!! Nothing more I love than being outdoors on an adventure. I look forward to seeing many more videos from you.
