The Cumberland Way

Although now classed as an 'old route' the Cumberland Way is an 80 mile (129km) walk takes in the historic county of Cumberland and the Lake District National Park. The route begins in Ravenglass, heading through Nether Wasdale and Keswick.  It then follows the old coach 'road' around the foothills of the Helvellyn range to Aira Force waterfall.

The Cumberland Way then follows a path around Gowbarrow Fell - with magnificent views over Ullswater to enjoy.  It continues on to the village of Dacre, before heading to Eamont Bridge, Penrith.
