This guide describes the 73-mile
Cumbria
Way, a walking route from
Ulverston
in the
south to Carlisle in the north. The lower-level
route of the official way visits such scenery
as Great
Langdale
,
Derwentwater
and
Caldbeck
; the guide also offers
high
mountain routes, which add the Coniston
Fells,
Glaramara
and
Skiddaw
.
One of the British Isles' prettiest and easiest
long-distance walks, the
Cumbria
Way
features undulating paths that ease past
picturesque villages, memorable lakes and
low mountain tarns. The official way is easy
and suitable for all; the higher routes require
mountain experience.
