Cicerone Walking the Cumbria Way

This guide describes the 75-mile Cumbria Way, a walking route from Ulverston in the south to Carlisle in the north.

The lower-level route of the official way visits such scenery as Great Langdale, Derwentwater and Caldbeck; the guide also offers high mountain routes, which add the Coniston Fells, Glaramara and Skiddaw. One of the British Isles' prettiest and easiest long-distance walks, the Cumbria Way features undulating paths that ease past picturesque villages, memorable lakes and low mountain tarns. The official way is easy and suitable for all; the higher routes require mountain experience.
