Walks

Slater Bridge, Little Langdale

Slaters Bridge (6 mi, 895 ft)

This is the walk we often choose, to show friends and family everything we love about the Lake District, bundled into a low level walk.

Drigg Beach and Black Comb

Black Combe (12 mi, 2160ft)

Why not walk the fell that you can see from the garden? This is a strenuous walk, that ascends Black Combe and then returns to the starting point along the beach.

Sheep above Colton

Coniston Fells (9mi 3,290ft)

On a clear day, this is one of the best walks in the Lake District, with excellent views on both sides of the ridge. Starting from Seathwaite, it avoids the crowds in Coniston and also means you can enjoy refreshments at the excellent Newfield Inn.

Lickle valley lane south of Broughton Mills

Great Stickle Loop (6.7mi, 1,544ft)

This is a walk that can be done from Boothwaite. It takes you through Broughton, to West Park and then up Great Stickle. Don’t miss the Blacksmith Arms in Broughton Mills on the way back, one of the most celebrated pubs in the Lake District.

Tarn Hows

Tarn Hows (7.5mi, 1,288ft)

This walk takes in both Yew Tree Tarn and Tarn Hows from Coniston. If you prefer a shorter walk, there is a car park near Tarn Hows.

Great Gable from Scafell Pike

Scafell Pike (5.0mi, 3,184ft)

This almost needs no introduction, the highest point in England. Wait for good weather for this one. Visit the Wasdale Head Inn at the end of the walk, a famous pub in an amazing part of the world.

Boothwaite Nook (4.5mi, 474ft)

A dog walk from Boothwaite Nook that mainly avoids roads with any significant traffic
