A word before you go: many of these routes cross high, open fell-tops, where the going is demanding in any weather and far harder when cloud comes down. Know how to navigate before you set out: read our guide to Lake District navigation.

Dogs and kind on the knees are judged from the gates and stiles mapped along each route (our Stile & Gate Census). Dogs also needs no more than a few rocky steps and exposure graded Easy or Moderate by us, by Lee on the ground or as our judgement from the map and the route’s record; a band the map only suggests does not count. The filter shows only a clear yes, and the mapping can be incomplete, so a route that is missing is not a no. Times are a fast-to-steady walking range, not a promise. Pushing a pushchair? That has its own list: pushchair-friendly walks.

About these routes
Hand-mapped routes for the whole Lake District — fell days, gentle lakeshores, waterfall wanders and family strolls. Every one has a downloadable GPX track and honest notes on how hard it really is.
Each route has its own guide with a map, elevation profile, the fells it bags, parking and buses, safety notes and a GPX download. A Walked tick means Lee has walked that route himself; without one, the route is mapped and described but not yet walked by him. Every route on the site is listed above — gentle lakeshore loops and big fell rounds alike. Use the filters to narrow by time, difficulty, region, or who’s coming with you. Every grade follows the rules on how we grade and time routes, and each route page says which of its grades were set on the ground.
