Westmorland Way
The scenic Westmorland Way is a 95 mile walk through the old county of that name, which now forms the south eastern segment of Cumbria.
The route starts in Appleby, the county town of Westmorland, the perfect starting point in the shadow of the Pennine Chain. It then travels west and generally southwards, winding its way through some of the finest Lake District scenery, passing Ullswater, Grasmere and Windermere, before visiting the market town of Kendal. From there it follows the canal and tracks through woodlands and meadows to Westmorland\'s only port, Arnside, on the shores of Morecambe Bay.
Our Holidays
We have a total of four holidays. Three cover the whole route, taking from 7 to 9 days, depending on how far you want to walk each day and how much time you have to look around. The fourth holiday is a Highlights walk, covering the most dramatic section through the Lake District, from Pooley Bridge to Ambleside.
