A walk from the shores of Morecambe Bay to the Scottish Border through the Lake District.
From £380 per person
The Cumbria Way enjoys the Lake District’s mountain vistas with none of its strenuous mountain climbs. This low-level walk follows old packhorse tracks along valleys and over passes to provide breath-taking views without ascending to the summits.
Beneath towering peaks and thundering cascades, the route follows the shores of glittering tarns. It visits charming Lake District villages, and enjoys a finale of remote, rolling hills that descend through rich farmland to the historic border town of Carlisle.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
We also organise trail running holidays along this route. Find out more.
From £755 per person
The complete Cumbria Way explores the Lake District from Ulverston to Carlisle through 73 miles of impeccable scenery. This approachable trail winds its way through the imposingly beautiful landscapes for which the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Lake District National Park is known worldwide.
Whether you wish to gaze out from incredible mountain viewpoints, admire rushing waterfalls or visit quintessentially English villages, a walking holiday along the Cumbria Way is an enticing way to discover this stunning corner of the United Kingdom.
