Loweswater Round: Mellbreak, Hen Comb, Gavel Fell, Blake Fell, Burnbank Fell
A fairly tough walk connecting five small-ish but feisty fells from Loweswater. Starting from the free National Trust car park at Maggie’s Bridge, you’ll walk a short road section before a steep climb to Mellbreak.
This route takes the scree ascent over to the North Face of Mellbreak, which is…

C2C Day 3: Rosthwaite to Patterdale
A hike of two halves through classic Lakeland terrain, with a brief stop at Traveller’s Rest.
⭐️ Personal highlight: lush valley views on the Greenup Edge descent; the cloud lifting just enough to reveal Grisedale Tarn.
The climb out of Rosthwaite begins almost immediately, following stone-pitched paths through Borrowdale. After…

C2C Day 2: Ennerdale Bridge to Rosthwaite
A valley and fell crossing from Ennerdale to Borrowdale, with a remote mid-stage stop at Black Sail YHA.
The first 10km follow the Ennerdale lakeshore path, which is rocky and uneven making it slow going when wet. This is followed by a forest section on easier gravel tracks: lush, green…

C2C Day 1: St Bees to Ennerdale Bridge
A straightforward opening stage, following the temporary diverted route at St Bees due to cliff path erosion - shortening the original route by roughly 5km.
The first 10km are easy-going, with a mixture of grassy farmland paths and a paved section along the old railway line: a gentle warm-up before…

Seat Sandal Loop from Grasmere
A beautiful valley walk leading to Seat Sandal - a quieter Wainwright that’s usually combined with the Helvellyn range. This is a gradual, steady ascent following a stone path before a short, fairly steep final stretch to the summit at 737m.
There are a couple of options for the way…

5 Wainwrights from Stonethwaite: Eagle Crag, Sergeant's Crag, High Raise, Sergeant Man & Ullscarf
This is an adventurous loop for 5 Wainwrights, which has a real wild and remote feel.
Starting from the peaceful village of Stonethwaite, the small but prominent Eagle Crag looks intimidating from the valley - and indeed it is a steep climb up. The last section involves some hands-on movement…

Hart Crag and Hartsop Above How from Brothers Water
A peaceful and gentle start to this two-Wainwright loop, following the edge of Brothers Water on a route that feels more secluded than you might expect.
On a dry spring morning we spotted a red squirrel, owl, deer and plenty of rabbits before the climbing had even begun.
The path…

Rest Dodd, The Nab, Angletarn Pikes & Brock Crags from Hartsop
A four-Wainwright loop from Hartsop taking in Rest Dodd, The Nab, Angletarn Pikes and Brock Crags, with fine views west to the Helvellyn range and east across the High Street ridge.
The route isn’t the tidiest – a couple of out-and-backs rather than a clean circuit – but it covers…

Fairfield Horseshoe from Ambleside (+ Stone Arthur)
Fairfield Horseshoe is one of the most well-known ridge walks in the Lake District, and is worth saving for a clear day with good conditions.
Starting from bustling Ambleside, the route circles around 7 Wainwrights - the highest of which being Fairfield itself.
With wide ridges and mostly well-trodden paths,…
