Walking in The Lake District

The most famous walker was without doubt Alfred Wainwright and many walkers follow in his footsteps today to climb the 214 fells.

Here are a selection of useful websites for you to browse before you arrive in the Lake District for ideas for walks. Of course you don't have to be quite as dedicated as Alfred Wainwright to enjoy every type of walk for all ages and abilities.

All our lodges have loads of information on walks to help you decide where to go. Enjoy !!

The Wainwright Society

A dedicated site with all the information about this extraordinary Lake District stalwart.

Alfred Wainwright (1907-1991) will always be known for his famous Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells which he compiled between 1952 and 1966. These handwritten and hand-drawn works of art have given inspiration to all true fellwalkers for the past forty years.

Follow in his footsteps and see the best the Lake District can offer.
