Every walk, on one page.
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 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 →

Dogs and kind on the knees are judged from the gates and stiles mapped along each route (our Stile & Gate Census). 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.
