Blennerhasset and Torpenhow walks

A quick sunset walk up to Binsey Wainwright in the Lake District. With lovely views looking towards the Skiddaw range and Bassenthwaite.

Dog-friendly circular walk following the Sandbed Gill trail in Dodd Wood and extended to go around the summit of Watches. Beautiful views of Bassenthwaite lake.

Varying walk covering the 5 most North Westerly Wainwright fells. Taking in the summits of Barf, Lords Seat, Broom Fell, Ling Fell and Sales fell. With views the full length of Bassenthwaite Lake and the magnificent massive of Skiddaw. Coastal views should be evident on a clear day.

A circular walk starting from Whinlatter Forest Visitor Centre ascending via forest trails to Seat Howe which offers good views over Keswick and Derwent Water before descending via well defined forest trails back to start.

This is half of the classic Coledale Horseshoe walk. It ascends the magnificent Grisedale Pike and Hopegill Head before descending over Sandhill to Coledale Hause and then taking the path down to the Force Crag Mine track in Coledale for the return leg. It passes next to Force Crag Mine and if you check with the National Trust you could time this walk with the option to tour the mine buildings.

Dog-friendly circular walk to Grisedale Pike summit. This walk was done clockwise; however anti-clockwise is better if you prefer a smoother descent.

The YHA is a great institution and I guess most fell walkers have stayed at a hostel at some time in their lives. They were created "to help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside, particularly by providing hostels or other simple accommodation for them on their travels". Here's a collection of routes starting and finishing at a YHA in The Lakes. Along the way there are 3 Wainwrights,a ferry and 1 pub.

At 368m (1207ft), Lattrig is one of the lowest fells in the Lake District. However, the views from the summit are unrivalled and that’s what makes it such a popular climb. This route takes you steeply uphill through both Lattrig and Bruntholme Woods before an easy ascent to the Viewpoint.

A linear Lake District walk that follows the shore of Derwentwater south from Keswick to Lodore landing stage. The return to Keswick uses the seasonal launces on Derwentwater.

Circular walk to Mellbreak summit with some scrambling. Amazing views from the top and along the shore of Crummock water. This is a dog-friendly walk.

Easy walk along the shore of Crummock water starting from Lanthwaite wood. Dog friendly.

This walk goes around Mellbreak summit passing by Mosedale and the shore of Crummock water. This is a dog friendly walk.

A stunning circular walk with beautiful views over Loweswater and the surrounding fells.

Linear walk with a few scrambles and beautiful vistas

Dog-friendly circular walk passing by Whiteside and Hopegill Head summits and going down by Liza Beck.

Circular dog friendly walk to Little Dodd and Hen Comb summits starting from Loweswater village. These summits are less popular than Mellbreak summit. Be careful crossing of the river can be tricky if it has rained the previous days.

Cat Bells summit is one of the easiest Wainwright summits to do. It is perfect for a family day out; however during summer months this walk is very popular. Dog friendly walk.

A rewarding Lake District walk of the highest calibre. The Horseshoe route takes in all the peaks on either side of the Newlands Valley and offers some wonderful walking and superb views throughout.

A walk taking in four Wainwright summits, with views of 4 lakes and the skyline of the High Western fells. The walk can be taken either clockwise or anticlockwise.

Sharp Edge is the highlight of this Lake District walk to Blencathra's highest point at Hallsfell Top. Sharp Edge is challenging mountain environment and needs treating with respect. The views from the Top are stunning covering most of the Lake District's highest fells.

An interesting low level walk with the opportunity to explore old mine workings as an option. The walk takes in farmland paths and tracks and ventures above the fell wall to the dam and reservoir built by the miners. Even if you choose not to venture into the mine tunnels finding the entrances is mini adventure. Newlands Church is lovely and adds further interest to the walk.

On this circular walk you will be rewarded with a lovely ascent up the small but beautiful Ard Crags, followed by an undulating ridge to Knott Rigg. The descent from Knott Rigg keeps to the top of a second ridge with good views ahead. The last section takes in farmland paths and tracks before joining the road.

This dog-friendly walk is one of the most famous in the Keswick area. It is low-level with a small ascent and a great view of the surrounding summits.

A short Lake District ridge walk that includes two Wainwrights. Surrounded by higher fells, the ridge between Ard Crags and Knott Rigg offers some wonderful Lakeland scenery.

Dog friendly walk around Cogra Moss tarn using the higher path in the forest.

This is a circular walk around High Spy, Maiden Moor and Cat Bells. The scenery is good and the walk is made interesting by the old mine workings, both on the way up and also at Goldscope Mine. The return leg, through the woods above Derwent Water, is a nice contrast to the first half of the walk.
It is a useful walk when the tops are in mist and walking the ridge would give you no views or when the tops are covered in snow and you don't have ice axe and crampons to hand.

This is a circular walk that is useful for a day, perhaps when it has been raining and then cleared up a little, but the high fells are still shrouded in cloud. There is enough changing scenery to maintain interest, with Millican Dalton's cave, farmland scenery and the summit of Castle Crag. There are also opportunities for refreshment stops along the way if needed. A nice walk for the whole family.

A short and fairly easy, circular walk up the ever popular Cat Bells. Starting from parking on the roadside just outside the village of Grange, this walk ascends Cat Bells from the South and descends north to join paths through the parkland and woods above and beside Derwent Water.
