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 😊
⌖ Wythburn Church | Christian & Nicholas Viewpoint | Thirlmere Reservoir | Raven Crag
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.

That's incredibly kind, thank you so much 🙏
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!
* Magical * Enchanting * Relaxing * Beautiful *
Thank you Chloe wonderful filming 🥰
Thanks so much Lynn ❤️
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
Ooh how I've missed the solitude, the music, the beautiful scenery & the sound of your voice. Happy belated anniversary & this time I subscribed. Def made my day...
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 🙏
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.
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.
Thank you Chloe for another wonderfully filmed snapshot of your life.
I lie here in bed watching after yet another bitterly cold day in North Yorkshire and I am transported to another beautiful place in time.❤
Thanks Paul. It's been one heck of a long Winter hasn't it 😅
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.
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.
This is fantastic.. our world is truly beautiful and I love anyone who can appreciate the majesty of mother nature and the creativity of our species. You capture them both so wonderfully in your videos! x
Thanks so much 🙏
There is something incredibly magical about your videos! Happy 2 years on RUclips, thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures with us 🙂
Thanks so much, appreciate your words 🙏
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.
Beautiful photography, the colours are amazing and the bird calls are blissful.
Thanks Chloe.
Thanks for coming along 🌲🐦
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 😄
Absolutely stunning views nothing like the great outdoors 😊
Thanks for watching Helena 🌲
Through your eyes we experience that is mystical and magical. Beautifully filmed and edited. Well done Chloe. 👏🤗
😊
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.
Hiya again it’s Pete, I did watch your latest video absolutely beautiful always a pleasure to watch scenery, music & mostly your relaxing voice always leaves me with a great restful sleep to SUPERB❤
Thanks Pete, it was a peaceful one for me to shoot as well 🌲
Love the bird songs & the sounds of rushing water. Thanks for capturing & sharing this beautiful hike with us. 🙂
Thanks for coming along Bill 🐦
Beautifully shot! Seamless blending between the drone and handheld camera footage. Very peaceful viewing.
Thank you 😊
Wonderful video. Ethereal videography. Excellent commentary and composition.
Thank you Anthony 🙏
A beautiful video Chole🤗🤗your story telling is unmatched and the amazing scenery is breathtaking, I seriously felt that you were taking us to the Shire, that is how captivating your narrating is. Thank you for sharing Chole and until your next adventure stay healthy and take care 🙏🙏
Haha thank you, always in the Shire in my head 😄
That was a little slice of heaven, thank you x
Thank you 🙏
@@FablesandFells no worries, thank you for all your effort and the RUclips algorithm for making the suggestion x
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.
Opening was simply flawless, absolutely flawless! 👏👏 Bravo for this epic episode!
Thank you, always enjoy editing the opening sequences 🙏
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!
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.
Thank you for bringing a little tranquility to my day 😊
Thanks for being here 🙏
Beautiful video! Such wonderful scenery and colours! Thank you for taking us with you. X🏔️
Thanks for coming along Wendy 😊
You have an eye for certain energy, and I can read your wavelength. Namaste
Thank you 🙏
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 😊
This was awesome, Chloe.Thank you for sharing this and all your adventures with me
Congratulations on your two years with youtube.❤
Thanks so much! Appreciate you being here!
Loved the scenery, colours etc . Also the accompanying music!
Glad you enjoyed it Trevor 😊
Stunning landscape, stunning cinematography, Chloe 😊
The ancient woodland, alongside the reservoir, which was replaced by fir, may be lying latent and will regrow if the firs are removed and suppressed. That's the lesson from the Cairngorms regeneration/rewilding.
Thank you 😊 Let's hope so. I believe they were replaced to help filter water running down into the reservoir. There is a restoration project though for Plantations on Ancient Woodland Sites (PAWS).
Beautiful, inspiring, refreshing, peaceful & graceful as always,. Thankyou.
Thanks so much 😊
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 RUclips 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!
What a beautiful hike. I love the Tolkien references. It all speaks to my soul.
Haha I always try and get them in somewhere 😊
The cinematography and music is amazing-just like something out of a Peter Jackson movie!
Haha I can only dream 😄🤩
Just watched this video. Your photography is amazing. Those scenes with the morning mist were so magical and the background music made it such a wonderful relaxing experience. Thank you.
Thanks so much Robin, glad you enjoyed it 😊
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 😊
A great combo; beautiful scenery/ photography and a beautiful presenter
Thank you 🌲⛰️
Beautifully created video. Pleasure to watch, talented lady!
Thanks Ross 🙏
A beautifully made video and thanks for bringing us along the adventure 😊 I like your kettle and mug! 😅
Haha thanks, the cup is from Sherwood Forest and the cafetiere jacket is Harris Tweed from Etsy ☕
Another wonderful video. And Happy Birthday!
Thank you!
Every moment of this video was breathtaking! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures! Always look forward to the next one! ❤
Aw thanks Carol 😊
Very, very beautiful, thankyou for sharing❤😊
Thank you for watching 😊
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 🙏
Stunning scenery and what a fantastic colour scheme , assume there is a lot of iron present in that area of mother earth 😮
There is certainly iron in some areas, though helped along with my colour grading! I do have a penchant for Autumn tones 😅
Beautiful film and sounds , raven crag is a hidden gem, especially the route you took yourself, just for the record, I recently lost my drone in thirlmere from the top of raven 😂, nevermind eh, take care 👍
Oh no! What it insured?🤞🏼😬 I've nearly lost mine before too 🙈
Thank you for sharing your incredible & criminally under-subscribed channel, your content is inspiring.
Ahh thank you 😊 Glad you enjoy it.
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 🐾
Hello my friend I'm watching your amazing video, Such an amazing Exploring Thirlmere & Raven Crag in the mist. I feel so happy watching your footage! I look forward to your beautiful next work 👍👍
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 😊
What such a beautiful video, been to this awesome area its so magical and amazing. Thanks for bring the memories back , will be back asap. Take care beautiful lady 🌷
Glad you enjoyed your hike there too 🌲
Wow,you are truly gifted to capture the essence of our beautiful world, inspired so many to get out🙂
Thanks so much 😊
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 🙏
Beautiful scenery, thank you!
That’s such a beautiful and relaxing video, you made my lunch hour so chilled😊
Aw that's lovely to hear 😊
I just stumbled across the lovely channel. The photography, the music and the narration has won me over. So looking forward to future videos and checking out the back catalogue. I love these little joys the web throws my way once in a while.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed this one 😊
stunning filming and great music choices, you really feel like you are going on a magical adventure, thank you for sharing
Aw thanks Wendy 😊
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.
Thanks Jason 😊

Wonderously magnificent! Mere words could not do justice to what you have put together.

Great video and as always expertly edited. thanks.
Thanks for watching 😊
Good morning 🌄❤❤
Great work Thanks
Stunning video wow , loved it
Thanks for watching 🌲
Beautiful video!! Stunning camera work both in the air and on the ground!! I am just about to start the Wainwrights, really looking forward to getting out and exploring. I have just stumbled across this video and obvs subscribed. Looking forward to binge watching the rest of your stunning work. All the best !!
Thank you again - just replied on your other comment. Good luck with the Wainwright's 🙏
Very beautiful
Your opening shots are so stunning 😍
Thank you 😊
The drone work is fantastic, and the clarity of the other camera work brings out so much detail. Her voice is like ASMR. Chloe should work in law enforcement, talking down and tamping out potentially violent situations. It's like listening to a stream of water - calming. The pup is so calm, too. Therapy.
Beautifully filmed Chloe. 👏Your videos are so calming. I instinctively start breathing more slowly and deeply. ☺️
Congratulations on the milestone. Inspiring and creative work keep it up 🎉
Thanks so much Marc!
Lovely cinematography and storytelling!
Thank you 🙏
Superb! And here I am anxiously waiting for spring in Alaska....
I bet! Hope it's with you soon 🙏
You captured these moments beautifully. Thanks for sharing. New sub ✅️
Thanks Nancy 😊
wow another outstanding video you just keep on the surprise and intrigue to the depth to your work a big thank you
Thank you, hope to continue to improve 😊
You brought a magical moment to my day. Thank you for generously sharing.
So lovely to hear that 🌲
Beautiful scenery, beautiful filming and atmosphere, wow! Greetings from beautiful Bavaria! ✌😊❤
Thanks for watching! Bavaria is indeed stunning!
Hi Chloe, a very nice trail and an inspiring, video. 😊 ❤Thx
Thanks for coming along 🌲
@@FablesandFells ♥️
stunning then iam biassed coming from kendal
This is the first of your videos i'm watching- Very well Done. Full of creativity and imaginations Amaizing Scenery and filming. Thank you
Thanks so much 😊
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.
Thanks for watching Robin 🌲
.....nice therapeutic, calming influence video, you're giving Glenn (Black Crag) some competition now with your camera/drone footage of the Lake District ?!?.....interesting both you and Glenn take 'man's best friend' during your Lake District walks, which adds to the overall presentation.....not sure if you are aware Chloe, but your logo for CalmDogGames has a striking resemblance to Finn from the Black Crag video's, thanks Michael.....
Ahh yes a Parsons terrier!
Wow, some stunning scenery and lovely tones, moving this one up my to do list 👍
Nice, hope you enjoy your walk.
Very majestic, thank-you.
Thanks for watching 😊
Was that the trailer for a new lotr movie? Absolutely stunning. The colours, composition, and the soundtrack...just perfect 👍
😄 I've got a way to go 😅 Thank you though, appreciate your kind words 🙏
I absolutely love your videos! Your soothing voice, the stunning scenery, the calming soundtrack, the recording and editing, and your pup(!!!) really make your channel one of my favorites. Just before you mentioned your "Hobbit travels", I was thinking it's other-worldly, and the Hobbit came to mind! I envy you in that you live near such a beautiful area. And props for giving mom and dad credit!
How do you separate content creating with relaxing and enjoying your time out there?
Thanks so much, glad you like them 😊 I think because I'm a walker, first and foremost, and I'm out most days with my dog, it means that the vast majority of my walks aren't "content". So the odd video I film is purposeful and I'm clear on my intention - I think that's key. I wouldn't want to film every time I went out, even though I enjoy and it is mindful in a way. Hope that makes sense!
@@FablesandFells Makes perfect sense! Thank you! And again, you're very fortunate to live near such a beautiful area. I asked about separating the content from your enjoyment because I recently watched another video in which the author mentioned the importance of separating the two: you don't want what you love to become a chore. I'm looking forward to your next video just as much as I'm looking forward to getting myself to UK for some amazing hiking.
Beautiful Video 👍🏼
Thanks 😊
'The reason I never grew up' You did, you just grew in a different way! A more free spirited way. Lovely videos! I've spent 22 years so far running those fells.
Thank you 🙏 Ahh that's amazing, I hope to do the same.
I can only agree with the others, simply spectacular, I was half expecting Gandalf and the crew to appear, beautifully shot (seriously, do you enhance the colours at all?) Cam is such a great companion and a handsome dog. Brilliant effort, looking forward to more.
Haha I so wish Gandalf would appear 😄 Yes, I colour grade. That's a big part of the fun creative process for me, so it's not 'as-is' out of the camera, I like to make it feel a little more mystical.
@@FablesandFells I love the effect it gives, please keep up the fantastic work. Best wishes.
Hallo,
was soll ich sagen ,ein wunderschönes Video. Beeindruckende Landschaften mit entspannter Kameraführung👍mit der passenden Musik unterlegt.
Gerne mehr davon 😊
LG Roland
Danke schön 😊
