Kirkby Ireleth walks

A circular walk starting from Haverigg village to take the sea defence wall around the seaward side of Hodbarrow Nature Reserve before turning inland around the rest of the nature reserve. Excellent views over the estuary and Hodbarrow Lake on the route. The site was once the most productive iron ore mine in the world before it flooded.

Black Combe situated in the south-west corner of the Lake District National Park dives into the Irish Sea. This walk is dog friendly. Great view on the Irish Sea.

A long and interesting walk from Hall Dunnerdale which could also be started from other places nearby. You will take in some lovely rolling countryside followed by a gradual ascent up a picturesque valley before making the climb up to Brown Pike. From here you are on the high Lakeland fells and take in numerous tops including the Old Man of Coniston. You descend carefully to Seathwaite Tarn and then back to Seathwaite where the Newfield Inn will welcome you with great beer and food.

Lovely circular walk to Seathwaite tarn from the village of Seathwaite.

A lovely walk, climbing up alongside the waterfalls of Church Beck to the quarry at the end of the Coppermines valley, returning via the saddle with beautiful views of Coniston village and the lake. You can end the walk with a well-deserved pint in one of the cosy village pubs. A great walk to start your holiday.

A taste of the high fells, with photogenic waterfalls and fascinating industrial relics.

A stroll through the village and down to the lake.

Circular walk starting from Coniston village and going to the Old Man of Coniston passing by Goat's water. Incredible view at the top of the Old Man of Coniston summit.

A long but mostly level walk, with an extended unbroken section along the lakeshore.

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.

Lovely walk starting from Dalegarth, following the river Esk until Doctor Bridge, and returning by Low Birker Tarn and the other side of the river Esk. This is a dog-friendly walk. If you take the detour, there is no path to access Low Birken tarn. We can only see the small tarn from above. The view from the path going to the tarn is lovely. Good navigation skills are needed to walk around Tarn Crag as the path is not visible.

Dog friendly circular walk following the Esk river to see Stanley Force waterfall and extended to the remote tarn of Devoke Water.

Dog-friendly circular walk starting from Dalegarth Station pasing by Blea Tarn, Mitterdale valley and White Moss little stone circle. It offers amazing view over the Eskdale valley.

This linear walk in the Western Lake District offers some wonderful views and should be completed at a leisurely pace. The route uses the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway to the return to the start.

A easy circular walk around Tarn Hows and extended to Iron Keld Plantation. The path around Tarn Hows is wheelchair and pushchair friendly. It can also be very busy during summer months. The walk is dog friendly.

A pleasant hike, to the west of Ambleside, across hills overlooking Windermere and Coniston Lakes.

A gentle walk in a beautiful setting, enjoyable in any weather. The walk is accessible to wheelchairs and pushchairs and is not too long for little legs.
