RSPB Haweswater
Recommended by
Overview
If you want to see a golden eagle but can't get to the Highlands of Scotland, you could try Haweswater, where a male displays in the hope of attracting a mate. An observation point in spring and summer is reached from the western end of Haweswater, 1.25miles (2km) along an uneven path. Other upland and woodland birds can be seen in the area. The car park fills quickly in summer, so be early if you can.
About the area
Cumbria's rugged yet beautiful landscape is best known for the Lake District National Park that sits within its boundaries. It’s famous for Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, and Derwent Water, ‘Queen of the English Lakes', but other lesser-known areas in the south, such as the Lune Valley and the coastal towns, are secret gems of wide cobbled streets and rolling hills.
