Hiding in plain sight since the 19th Century 👀
At first glance, the Claife Viewing Station in the Lake District looks just like ancient castle ruins on a hilltop. But inside lies a beautiful secret just waiting to be discovered.
The result is a glorious panoramic view over Windermere and the rugged Cumbria mountains beyond. It is especially striking when the sunlight catches the glass, creating a technicolour reflection on the floor.View gallery Peering through the glass creates a majestic red, blue, orange or green filtered view of the backdrop beyond. On a clear day, visitors can see for several miles, skimming their eyes over the glittering water below and the treetops of the Claife Heights woodland. Mesmerising.
But we're sure glad we found it, and it could well be the best viewpoint you'll ever experience. Winter is an ideal time to visit as this area is a tourist hotspot in the summer months, with the ferries much busier and your chances to soak in the views at your leisure likely to be much more limited due to crowds.
