Routes and Maps

Here you can find routes for some classic walks in the best loved areas of the Lake District along with detailed  descriptions including distance, time, ascent and grade.  The Lake District is a wonderful place to enjoy biking as well with climbs to challenge even the most experienced cyclist and, believe it or not, plenty of nice flat routes for all the family.
