Walking YHA hopping in The Lake District - YHA Coniston Holly How to YHA Grasmere

Association or club
↔28.52 km ↗+1,561 m ↘-1,544 m ◔12h 35 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Coniston (Westmorland and Furness)
The YHA is a great institution and I guess most fell walkers have stayed at a hostel at some time in their lives. Funny how they were created "to help all, especially young people of limited means, to greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside, particularly by providing hostels or other simple accommodation for them on their travels". Here's a collection of routes starting or finishing at a YHA in The Lakes. Along the way are 6 Wainwrights, 3 tarns, and 1 pub.
