Other walks in the area

Walking Catbells, Dale Head and Hindscarth - The Newlands Horseshoe

Visorando Member
↔9.90 mi ↗+3,054 ft ↘-3,064 ft ◔7h 15 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Above Derwent (Cumberland)
A rewarding Lake District walk of the highest calibre. The Horseshoe route takes in all the peaks on either side of the Newlands Valley and offers some wonderful walking and superb views throughout.

Walking Cat Bells summit

Visorando Member
↔3.47 mi ↗+1,299 ft ↘-1,312 ft ◔2h 45 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Above Derwent (Cumberland)
Cat Bells summit is one of the easiest Wainwright summits to do. It is perfect for a family day out; however during summer months this walk is very popular. Dog friendly walk.

Walking Cat Bells, Maiden Moor and High Spy by Boat from Keswick!

Visorando Member
↔9.90 mi ↗+2,257 ft ↘-2,254 ft ◔6h 30 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Above Derwent (Cumberland)
In my opinion there is no better way to get to the start of the ascent of Cat Bells other than by boat. Catching the first ferry of the day will allow you to get to Hawes End without all the hassle of trying to find somewhere to park. The return ferry from Lodore Landing Stage is just as pleasant with fantastic views. Parking: There are several places to park in Keswick but I like to park at the Lakeside Car Park near the Theatre by the Lake and the Landing Stages.

Walking Ard Crags and Knott Rigg Circular

Visorando Member
Ard Crags and Knott Rigg Circular
↔5.19 mi ↗+1,539 ft ↘-1,516 ft ◔3h 45 ▲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)

Visorando Member
Newlands Valley Low Level Circular (Mine Exploration and Newland's Church)
↔4.51 mi ↗+748 ft ↘-755 ft ◔2h 45 ▲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 Walla Crag, Bleaberry Fell and Ashness Bridge

Visorando Member
↔5.65 mi ↗+1,785 ft ↘-1,775 ft ◔4h 10 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Borrowdale (Cumberland)
Great circular walk with gorgeous views of Derwent water and Keswick. Two Wainwright summits (Walla Crag and Bleaberry fell) and the famous Ashness bridge. Dog friendly.

Walking Walla Crag going down by Great Wood

Visorando Member
↔2.81 mi ↗+925 ft ↘-942 ft ◔2h 05 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Borrowdale (Cumberland)
This is a lovely walk up to Walla Crag summit and walking back by Great Wood forest. It is dog friendly. The views along this walk are incredible, in particular from the top of Walla Crag. The path going up Walla Crag can be a bit difficult, as it is very steep for some people.

Walking Around Derwent water

Visorando Member
↔9.28 mi ↗+217 ft ↘-223 ft ◔4h 25 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Borrowdale (Cumberland)
This dog-friendly walk is one of the most famous in the Keswick area. It is low-level with a small ascent and a great view of the surrounding summits.
