The Wordsworth Way

The Wordsworth Way is a 14 mile (22.5km) long route.  Launched in 2025 on William Wordsworth's 255th birthday, the route traces some of the favourite walking routes of William and his sister Dorothy.  Linking Glenridding and Ambleside, it can be walked in a day or section by section.

Variable difficulty and divided into four sections, the Way passes significant landmarks in his life.  Part of the Coast to Coast Path, the Wordsworth Way is also linked to the Ullswater Way.

Walk in Wordsworth's footsteps.  Immerse yourself in the landscape.  Be inspired by nature through his poems.
