Other walks in the area

Walking Catbells, Dale Head and Hindscarth - The Newlands Horseshoe

Walker
↔15.93 km ↗+931 m ↘-934 m ◔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

Walker
↔5.59 km ↗+396 m ↘-400 m ◔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!

Walker
↔15.94 km ↗+688 m ↘-687 m ◔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

Walker
Ard Crags and Knott Rigg Circular
↔8.36 km ↗+469 m ↘-462 m ◔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)

Walker
Newlands Valley Low Level Circular (Mine Exploration and Newland's Church)
↔7.26 km ↗+228 m ↘-230 m ◔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

Walker
↔9.10 km ↗+544 m ↘-541 m ◔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 Around Derwent water

Walker
↔14.93 km ↗+66 m ↘-68 m ◔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.

Walking Shores of Derwentwater from Keswick

Walker
↔5.54 km ↗+15 m ↘-21 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.
