Walks in the Lake District

A wonderful Lakeland scene looking over Derwent Water to Keswick, Skiddaw and Blencathra

I have been visiting the Lake District for a number of years now and never tire of it. I usually base myself in the excellent market town of Keswick as it provides easy access to the Borrowdale valley where many of the great hills are and it is also conveniently situated for many other Lakeland areas. Plus its got great pubs with great beer, a necessary requisite after a hard days fell walking. On this page you will find links to all the Lake District walks featured on my site. And keep visiting, because its an ever growing list. I recommend all the walks I feature and you can read about the highlights of each walk on each walk page. Enjoy the Lakes pages and enjoy your walking.

Stay at the Howbeck Hotel, Choice of 11 stunning rooms, located in the Windermere area of the Lake District.
