Inn Way to the English Lake District

Explore the Lake District on foot on this fantastic circular walk which starts and finishes in the pretty Lake District town of Ambleside.

Enjoy dramatic mountain-scapes, breathtaking views of magnificent lakes, peaceful lakeland valleys and exhilarating mountain passes. Each day you will also have the chance to experience the warm welcome and cosy atmosphere of traditional lakeland country inns, passing no less than 44 of them on your way.

Your walk begins in the bustling Lake District town of Ambleside, which offers pubs, shops and cafes galore as well as many literary connections to poets and writers such as William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Leaving Ambleside you will experience tranquil valleys such as Borrowdale and Newlands Valley as well as some exhilarating ridge walking before arriving in the charming village of Braithwaite. Breathtaking views of the exquisite Loweswater and Crummock Water await as well as traverses over dramatic mountain passes. Enjoy stunning views of the dramatic Harter Fell and enjoy relaxing in charming Coniston before arriving back in Ambleside and the end of your walk.

This walking route is based upon Mark Reid's walking guidebook 'Inn Way...to the English Lake District'.

Highlights:

  • Exploring the pretty town of Ambleside with its plentiful pubs, shops and cafes
  • Breathtaking views of Loweswater, Crummock Water and Derwentwater
  • Relaxing in cosy and friendly Lakeland country inns
  • Experiencing a real sense of freedom as you traverse dramatic mountain passes.
