Lake District Sports - Lake District Walking

The unparalleled beauty, character and accessibility of the Lake District make it irresistible to walkers of all levels and ages. Take it easy by the lakes themselves, or tackle the more rugged challenges of fells and gorges - truly breathtaking! Lake District Walking is the best there is!

With an amazing variety of mountains, walks and scrambles, all to be discovered within a comparatively small area, the Lakes host some of the best walking routes, rambles and pathways in the UK. Walking routes range from classic lake shore circuits to hidden waterfalls and isolated tarns, and from fairy-tale streams to the windswept lakeland peaks of Scafell Pike and Helvellyn, with its daunting 'Striding Edge'. Access to the walks is generally easy, but close adherence to rights of way should be followed, sticking to the paths where possible. And at the end of your Lake District walking day, where better to rest your feet and mull over the day than in one of the district's legendary inns?

Even people who think they know Cumbria are forever finding new treasures or fresh tests of endurance. Here's a county that includes among it's varied riches the woodland paths once trodden by Roman legionaries at Hadrian's Wall, the views across from the Lake District to the peaks of Scotland from the beautiful Solway Coast, and the lakeland climbs and long distance hikes made world famous by Wainwright.

Ah yes, Wainwright. If you need a guide book to Lake District Walking, look no further than the Wainwright guides.
