Walks

Catbells at 653m is Lakeland's most popular
fell, beloved of young and old, fit and
not-so-fit, everyone's favourite at all times of
year. The views from its narrow summit are
superb on all sides and make the ascent a
memorable experience. Stronger walkers will
enjoy striding out along the ridge over Maiden
Moor to High Spy before descending steeply
to Grange.

Derwentwater provides a scenic low level
circuit of around 10 miles/16 km. There's a
footpath for much of the way and you can
shorten the walk by hopping onto the motor
launch at any one of its seven landing stages.
The path winds through woodland and
wetland (boardwalk) and hugs the shore in
places, giving plenty of variety and many fine
views.It's an easy walk at any time of year,
although heavy rains can cause flooding at
the southern end, forcing a detour onto the
road.
