Travel Map

Day 1 Join trip in Seatoller in the Borrowdale Valley

Arrive at the hotel in Seatoller, a hamlet with a handful of houses and farms. Our peaceful and comfortable base for the week is located in the Borrowdale Valley with commanding views of the surrounding fells. It is a perfect location for exploring the hiking trails o...

Day 2 Hike to Keswick via Cat Bells

We start our first walk from the door of our hotel after breakfast. Heading up through open countryside we hike for 45 minutes and then make a short, steep ascent to a mountain pass over-looking Dale Head and the tarn below. We continue up to High Spy and then ramble ...

Day 3 Hike Buttermere and Haystacks

A short drive from the hotel over Honister Pass takes us past stark, rocky scenery towards Buttermere Lake. From here, we start our hike up towards the imposing band of rocks that stand like the wall of a fortress. Our route ascends through the hills and soon we reach...

Day 4 Scafell Pike: highest mountain in England (978m)

The ascent of Scafell Pike is the most challenging hike of the week and takes us to some of the most spectacular scenery in the UK. After a very short drive we start at the hamlet of Seathwaite and follow the river to the 18th century packhorse Stockley Bridge. We con...

Day 5 Drive to Keswick; Walk up Latrigg and Lonscale Craggs

We drive the short distance back to Keswick where our circular hike commences. After crossing the River Greta we gently climb through the forest on the Cumbria Way. There are lots of birds and wildlife and the views of Derwent Water get better as we climb. We will tak...

Day 6 Walk from Stonethwaite to Grasmere

For our final walk of the holiday, we make a short journey by bus to the pretty hamlet of Stonethwaite. Starting here, we cross the river and briefly follow the Cumbria Way and then the path south that runs next to the river. Very gently we gain height as we head towa...
