The Cumbria Way - 7 Days & 6 Nights
- Walking the Cumbria Way from South to North across the English Lake District
- Picture perfect Lakeland views of Tarn Howes and the Coniston fells
- The breathtaking, rugged beauty of the Lake District
- The famous Cumbrian hospitality
- The bustle of the Lakeland towns and galleries
The Cumbria Way is a classic 76 mile walk across the Lake District from South to North. On your walk from Ulverston to Carlisle, though the natural beauty of the Lake District, you will follow in the footsteps of the romantic poets Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southley and discover how being immersed in the inspiring scenery of the Lake District inspired them to create some of the country’s best known verse.
The Cumbria Way begins in the market town of Ulverston, with its cobbled streets and festival atmosphere and takes you north via Coniston, Great Langdale, Rosthwaite, Derwent Water, Keswick and Caldbeck to Carlisle. A predominantly low level walk, but with some significant climbs, the Cumbria Way is a fine way to explore the best of the English Lake District in a week of inn to inn walking.

Itinerary
Day 1 Arrive in Ulverston and overnightUlverston is easily reached by train from Manchester Airport (2h20) or London (4h20). Ulverston is a delightful friendly town with a unique charm. Olde worlde pubs, cafes and cobbled streets hold many surprises.
Set in Ulverston in the Cumbria region, with Laurel & Hardy Museum nearby, Old Daltongate House offers accommodation with free WiFi, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a hairdryer, free toiletries and shower. Old Daltongate House offers a Full English/Irish or vegetarian breakfast.

This accommodation has a warm, homely and relaxed atmosphere. The rooms are large and combine genuine antique beds with modern luxury mattresses and linen along with tea making facilities, televisions, hairdryers and bathrobes to guarantee absolute comfort. Outside the gardens overlook the countryside of Ulverston and Morecambe bay and in the spring come alive with daffodils. There is also a large conservatory to relax in, which has views over the Bay.

Church Walk House is a Grade II* Listed Building is in the heart of Ulverston's historic Market Town. It is the closest accommodation to the start of the Cumbria Way - just step out the door! Martin and John look forward to offering you a very warm welcome in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Starting from The Gill and perhaps paying a visit to the Laurel & Hardy Museum or Barrow Monument, you quickly leave Ulverston. A pleasant walk through rich farmland soon brings you to the Lake District National Park and the views across the Coniston Fells are splendid. A rough Lakeland path brings the chimneys of Coniston Hall into view, which marks days end.
Now mainly a base for outdoor enthusiasts, Coniston was originally a slate mining village. Famous for being the site of Donald Campbells ill-fated world record water speed attempt, it is a lovely town and nearby Tarn Howes is one of the lakes most popular beauty spots.

The Bluebird Lodge Guest House is in a quiet corner of the English Lakes and offers comfortable rooms, a warm welcome and some of the best views in the area. Situated within 15 minute stroll from the village centre of Coniston, one of Lakeland''s more typical villages, and only a short stroll to the North end of Coniston Water.

The Crown Inn has 12 en-suite bedrooms, all rooms are centrally heated and have high quality mattresses, televisions, coffee and tea making facilities, hair dryers and direct dial telephones. Whilst staying at The Crown Inn all guests receive complimentary usage of Langdale Leisure Club, which has a swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and gymnasium and is just a 15 minute taxi drive away.
The Black Bull Inn and Hotel was built around 400 years ago as a coaching Inn providing accommodation for travellers, coachmen and horses.
The Inn is situated beside the beck and in the shadow of the ‘Old Man’ mountain. We have 15 comfortable bedrooms each with bath/shower ensuite, colour TV, tea/coffee making facilities, hair-dryer, full central heating and double glazing. The character of the rooms and inn has however still been retained.
The most recent addition to our hostelry is a microbrewery, in which we brew our own beer, Bluebird Bitter and Old Man Ale. These are made using only the finest natural ingredients available and our local mountain water. The beer is cask conditioned before being sold to our discerning customers in the bar.
An absolutely delightful day of Lakeland walking delivers views that will take your breath away. Elterwater and Chapel Stile both make excellent lunch stops. Dungeon Ghyll is just one of a few hamlets and lodgings which have been welcoming Lakeland travellers for centuries.

They have 12 guest rooms, each is different, but they all retain original features of antique and vintage décor. There is a spacious guest lounge with an open fire, where you can relax in the evening.
The amazing Mickleden Valley makes up most of your walk, surrounded by Bowfell and the Pikes. Then a zig-zag ascent up the fellside before dropping back down into Langstrath valley. The view down to Rosthwaite is one you won’t forget in a hurry.
After the small village of Rosthwaite, you will pass first the delightful Borrowdale Valley and then tranquil woodland walking with views to Derwent Water. Walking in the Lake District simply doesn’t get any better. You would be foolish to miss the tea shop at Grange!
Keswick is the largest tourist centre in the Northern lakes and can get busy. There is plenty to do in this buzzy lakes town.

This renovated Victorian home is family run and Carol and Paul will provide you with a very warm welcome. The rooms have splendid views across such notable landscape features as Cat Bells, Grisedale Pike, Skiddaw and Latrigg.
There is a choice today between a high level walk or a low level one today. The low level walk is a little longer, but a much easier option. Either taking the route over the fell tops or skirting round the bottom, you are assured a great days walking.
Caldbeck was once a thriving industrial town with woollen mills, bobbin mills and a brewery all powered by the river which runs through the town. (Caldbeck) Today it is a friendly and proud village largely untouched by tourism.
Located in the centre of Caldbeck, this family-run pub offers 10 well-appointed rooms and a hearty Cumbrian breakfast to set you up for the day.

Other Information
Is it for me?The Cumbrian Way provides a chance to escape to one of the most beautiful areas of England. Enjoy picture perfect Lakeland landscapes and revel in the poetic romance of the Lakes. Well marked walking and gentle terrain make for an inspiring and relaxing week.
Classic Routes | If you’re the active, outdoorsy type, who’s interested in taking on the great routes of the world or looking for a challenge, then our Classic Routes are for you. We’re talking the West Highland Way, Tour Du Mont Blanc and the Passau to Vienna Danube Cycle Path, to name but a few!
Inn to Inn Walking | Walk from place-to-place changing accommodations each night. Generally staying in B&B’s, inns, and guesthouses.
Solo Travellers
This tour is graded moderate as even though you are in the hilly Lake District this route tends to stick to the low-level trails. This means you get to enjoy stunning views from the valley floors, without having to climb endless hills and summits.
The route starts among farms and fields, then runs through Lake District National Park. The first real climb is to the top of Stake Pass between Great Langdale and Borrowdale, apart from that there is little elevation gain in the first section just north of Ulverston.
Then the route goes over the summit of High Pike (part of the Northern Fells), which does feel more exposed, but this can be skipped by the lower-level alternative if visibility is poor. The final stage into Carlisle is mostly flat and easy-going, following riverside paths and tracks.
One of the highlights of this tour is the high standard of accommodation. You will stay in carefully selected 3 or 4-star B&B's, Guest Houses, country pubs and small hotels. Your room will always have an ensuite or private bathroom. A delicious breakfast is always included.
Accommodation Location
We will always try and accommodate you at the locations detailed in your itinerary. Occasionally, because of limited availability, there is the option to be accommodated at an alternative location. In the unlikely event that we have to accommodate you elsewhere, we will advise you of this before confirming your booking.
Single Rooms
If you require single rooms within your party we will always try and accommodate you subject to availability. A single supplement is payable. This trip is also available to solo walkers although again a supplement will apply.
The way is generally well waymarked, especially where the route leaves roads but it tends to be less well marked in fields and in the fells. Sometimes there are small arrows or plastic discs with small writing indicating ‘Cumbria Way’. To allow you to switch off, and enjoy your adventure, this trip utilizes our free, detailed Macs Adventure smartphone navigation app. The app allows you to easily locate yourself on the trail using offline mapping.

The Cumbria Way is available to start daily between April and October. Select which itinerary you would prefer and then select your preferred start date. There is never a bad time to be walking the Cumbria Way, but our personal favourites are spring and autumn.
Please note that as there are some restrictions in Great Langdale and Rosthwaite with 1 night bookings at the weekend, we may have to book you for 2 nights in either Coniston or Keswick with return transfers which we will include in the cost.
Ulverston is easily reached by train from Manchester Airport (2h20) or London (3h20). See National Rail Enquiries for details. It is also serviced by National Express coaches and easily reached by car.
You can find information for travelling to and from Cumbria by clicking on the Traveline Website.
Carlisle is on the West Coast mainline and regular trains will whisk you back to London (3h55), Manchester (2h10) (with a change at Preston or Wigan) or Ulverston (2h05) (Change at Lancaster).
Your bags will be transferred from your accommodation as per your itinerary and moved onto your next overnight accommodation. We ask you to limit your luggage to one bag of up to 20kg per person. Please ensure that you do not bring more than one bag of 20kg, as if this occurs, the luggage transfer company will ask you to pay an additional fee (approx. £8.50 per day, per bag). This additional payment, should it be necessary, needs to be made locally to the driver and in cash. Any additional bags need to labelled as if they are not labelled we cannot guarantee that they will reach you at the next accommodation.
If you are travelling from far afield and do have more than one bag it is possible to arrange for the extra luggage to be stored whilst you are on the tour for a fee of £25 per bag. These additional bags would be picked up at your accommodation at the start point (St Bees or Kirkby Stephen) and dropped off wherever you finish depending on the itinerary you choose to do. Please contact us if you are interested in this option.
The distances and ascent/descents are approximations of the recommended routes.
Walking Direction
We recommend you walk from Ulverston to Carlisle as you will have the wind at your back.
Please be prepared by packing all necessary items, for example, proper rain gear (jacket and trousers), sun hat, sunscreen. Your information pack has a detailed equipment list which includes standard walking gear such as good walking boots or shoes, warm and waterproof clothes for the cooler months and lightweight clothing for summer, and a day pack.
As this tour is available through our Macs Adventure Smartphone App you will be using your smartphone. Keeping the device in flight mode will keep the battery from running out too quickly, however, always ensure your phone is fully charged before setting off; if you doubt the battery will last throughout the hike, it might be beneficial to bring a power bank.
It is a requirement of booking this tour with Macs Adventure that you have suitable travel insurance which covers you for the activity and emergency evacuation and hospital care.
We offer a range of itineraries so you can choose your preferred daily distance so hopefully you will find an itinerary that suits your preferred level of activity. If you currently don’t enjoy an active lifestyle we suggest regular walking in hilly terrain supplemented by cardio vascular exercise for at least 6 months prior to your walk. A good gym or personal trainer will be able to draw up a personalised training programme.
As far in advance as possible! We suggest you book as soon as your plans are finalised as The Lake District is extremely popular. If booking at short notice we will always try and accommodate your plans.
You will need good walking shoes/boots (ideally waterproof), comfortable walking clothes, waterproof jacket and trousers, a daypack and hats/gloves etc.
The Cumbria Way is very enjoyable at any time between April and mid October.
Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate walkers with dogs as many of the accommodation providers we use do not accept pets.
You can use local bus services or local taxis to continue to your next overnight stop.
