Every walk, on one page.

Home › Routes

Each route has its own guide with a map, elevation profile, the fells it bags, parking and buses, safety notes and a GPX download. Routes marked planned are drawn but not yet personally walked; revised routes have been walked and checked — many carry first-hand notes too. Every route on the site is listed below — gentle lakeshore loops and big fell rounds alike. Use the filters to narrow by time, distance, region, or who’s coming with you.

A word before you go: many of the routes below cross high, open fell-tops where the going is demanding in any conditions — and far harder when the clag comes down and you're left with very few reference points to steer by. Confident navigation isn't optional up there, so make sure you understand it before you commit to a day out: read our guide to Lake District navigation.

Looking for something gentler? Our Easy & family walks collects the Lake District's low-level lakeshores, waterfalls, tarns and easy viewpoints — short, scenic walks with honest pushchair- and young-kids-friendly flags so you know what you're taking on. Browse the easy walks →

Routes — pick a colouring on the right. Colour by nothing (plain)difficultytoday’s conditions

Dog and knee verdicts come from the mapped gates and stiles along each route (our Stile & Gate Census) — the filter shows a clear green verdict only, and mapped barriers can be incomplete, so a route not shown isn’t necessarily a no. Times are a fast–steady walking range, not a promise. Pushing a pushchair? That’s its own honest list: pushchair-friendly walks.
