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 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 Around High Spy, Maiden Moor and Cat Bells

Around High Spy, Maiden Moor and Cat Bells
↔10.51 mi ↗+1,890 ft ↘-1,883 ft ◔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.

Walking Around Castle Crag

Visorando Member
Around Castle Crag
↔8.51 mi ↗+1,217 ft ↘-1,207 ft ◔5h 00 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Borrowdale (Cumberland)
This is a circular walk that is useful for a day, perhaps when it has been raining and then cleared up a little, but the high fells are still shrouded in cloud. There is enough changing scenery to maintain interest, with Millican Dalton's cave, farmland scenery and the summit of Castle Crag. There are also opportunities for refreshment stops along the way if needed. A nice walk for the whole family.

Walking Cat Bells from Grange

Visorando Member
↔5.98 mi ↗+1,348 ft ↘-1,335 ft ◔3h 55 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Borrowdale (Cumberland)
A short and fairly easy, circular walk up the ever popular Cat Bells. Starting from parking on the roadside just outside the village of Grange, this walk ascends Cat Bells from the South and descends north to join paths through the parkland and woods above and beside Derwent Water.
