Newlands, Loweswater, Castlerigg & High Rigg

On our second day, we went to Little Town, up the Newlands Valley and over to Buttermere and Loweswater. On the return journey we visited Catlerigg Stone Circle and then went down to St John's in the Vale from where we climbed High Rigg and then went over Low Rigg to Tewitt Tarn.
