A delightful walk in the English Lake District
This delightful walk will take you through England’s most rugged and
mountainous landscape: the Lake District National Park, celebrated by the
poetry of Wordsworth and more recently by the stories of Beatrix Potter and
Arthur Ransome. The trail leads past the peaceful depths of Coniston Water
and Derwentwater, two of the prettiest lakes, as well as the incomparable
Tarn Hows, set like a jewel in the wooded hills between Coniston and
Langdale. The walk starts in the market town of Ulverston, on the shores of
Morecambe Bay and gradually ascends first through rolling hills and farms
to Coniston, a lovely village on the shores of the lake of the same name
dominated by the 2650 feet high Old Man of Coniston. Then it’s over the fells
past the remains of old copper mines to Langdale, perhaps the prettiest
and most dramatic of Lakeland valleys. Our next port of call is Borrowdale
which also lays claim to this title. Journey’s end is in the charming market
town of Keswick. An excellent spot to maybe linger an extra day and tackle
Skiddaw or take an easy walk to the prehistoric Castlerigg Stone Circle.

Amixtureof coastal andmoorlandwalking theClevelandWay
The Cleveland Way was opened in May 1969; the second of the British
National Trails. It stretches for approximately 177km along the edge of the
North York Moors and the North Yorkshire Coast. The scenery encompasses
farming landscapes, forests, moors and dramatic cliffs. Eighty percent of
the trail is within the North York Moors National Park. All this moor and
cliff walking is punctuated at intervals with interesting market towns and
sleepy fishing villages, steeped in historical and literary associations. The
walk must not be underestimated, there is a lot of ascent and descent
throughout. Highlights include the remains of the Norman Rievaulx and
Whitby Abbeys, the Captain Cook Monument, Robin Hood's Bay, the famous
old fishing village Staithes and Scarborough, the quintessential Yorkshire
seaside resort.
