↔8.36 km ↗+443 m ↘-442 m ◔3h 40 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Above Derwent (Cumberland)

On this circular walk you will be rewarded with a lovely ascent up the small but beautiful Ard Crags, followed by an undulating ridge to Knott Rigg. The descent from Knott Rigg keeps to the top of a second ridge with good views ahead. The last section takes in farmland paths and tracks before joining the road.

Walking Newlands Valley Low Level Circular (Mine Exploration and Newland's Church)

Walker
Newlands Valley Low Level Circular (Mine Exploration and Newland's Church)
↔7.26 km ↗+216 m ↘-220 m ◔2h 40 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Above Derwent (Cumberland)

An interesting low level walk with the opportunity to explore old mine workings as an option. The walk takes in farmland paths and tracks and ventures above the fell wall to the dam and reservoir built by the miners. Even if you choose not to venture into the mine tunnels finding the entrances is mini adventure. Newlands Church is lovely and adds further interest to the walk.

Walking Shores of Derwentwater from Keswick

Walker
↔5.54 km ↗+15 m ↘-24 m ◔1h 40 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Keswick (Cumberland)

A linear Lake District walk that follows the shore of Derwentwater south from Keswick to Lodore landing stage. The return to Keswick uses the seasonal launces on Derwentwater.

Walking Around High Spy, Maiden Moor and Cat Bells

Walker
Around High Spy, Maiden Moor and Cat Bells
↔16.91 km ↗+584 m ↘-583 m ◔6h 30 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Borrowdale (Cumberland)

This is a circular walk around High Spy, Maiden Moor and Cat Bells. The scenery is good and the walk is made interesting by the old mine workings, both on the way up and also at Goldscope Mine. The return leg, through the woods above Derwent Water, is a nice contrast to the first half of the walk.
It is a useful walk when the tops are in mist and walking the ridge would give you no views or when the tops are covered in snow and you don't have ice axe and crampons to hand.

↔7.54 km ↗+352 m ↘-352 m ◔3h 10 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Borrowdale (Cumberland)

Great circular walk going to Watendlath Tarn. This valley is not really popular. Dog friendly walk.
Good navigation skills are needed during this section as the path is not visible.
