Orrest Head is a little hill near Windermere that packs a big punch when it comes to views. Back in 1930, a young Alfred Wainwright stumbled upon this spot and was blown away by the stunning panorama of the Lake District. It's an easy hike up from Windermere town, perfect for beginners or a quick post-dinner adventure. The view from the top is like something out of a painting, with distant mountains, the shimmering Windermere, and even a toposcope to help you identify all the peaks. It's a must-visit for anyone looking for a great view without breaking too much of a sweat.
