The Lake District National Park is England's most popular mountain
region and is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Suitable
for most reasonably fit hillwalkers, the 145km (90 mile) Tour of
the Lake District takes in the best of this beautiful region in a
circular tour. The route is presented in nine stages, plus an
optional 'prologue' stage from Windermere station to the
start-point in Ambleside, and can be compressed into one week or
extended over two weeks, giving time to visit many attractions on
the way. In addition to the main (non-waymarked) route, which links
the main towns and valleys of the national park, five
interchangeable high-level stages are also offered, enabling you to
visit some of the region's most celebrated high peaks - including
Coniston Old Man, Scafell Pike, Great Gable and Helvellyn - should
you so wish. Each stage includes summary statistics and clear route
description illustrated with OS mapping and an elevation profile.
There are notes on local points of interest and a wealth of
information to help you plan your tour, covering public transport,
accommodation and kit, plus accommodation listings and a facilities
table. The Tour showcases the magnificent landscapes of the region,
from mountain vistas to idyllic lakeshore scenery. There are lakes,
rivers and waterfalls, characterful towns and villages, remote
valleys, high fells and fascinating historical features including a
Neolithic stone circle, packhorse bridges and properties that once
belonged to Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth. There are a wide
range of accommodation options to suit all budgets and
opportunities to sample delicious local produce. The Tour of the
Lake District is an ideal way to discover all the region has to
offer and is sure to generate lots of memorable experiences.
