YHA hopping in The Lake District - Windermere Station to YHA Langdale

Departure from Windermere (Westmorland and Furness)

The YHA is a great institution and I guess most fell walkers have stayed at a hostel at some time in their lives. Funny how they were created "to help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside, particularly by providing hostels or other simple accommodation for them on their travels". Here's a collection of routes starting or finishing at a YHA in The Lakes. Along the way are 2 Wainwrights and 2 interesting pubs.

On this gentle route, you will be able to enjoy the scenery and explore Hawkshead and Hill Top. The ferry trip across Windermere is a short cut but also a quirky addition to the walk. Look around and take in the beauty that is The Lake District. Here's a route starting and finishing at a YHA in The Lakes. Along the way are a lake, 3 tarns, 1 pub and a ferry.

Latterbarrow and Wray Castle from Hawkshead

Departure from Hawkshead (Westmorland and Furness)

A Circular Walk with a short ascent of Latterbarrow that rewards you with great views of the Lake District's mountains and then a descent through woodland to pick up the lakeshore path to Wray Castle. This is a real treat for National Trust Members (non members can pay to get in) but even if you don't want to visit the castle the grounds are a good place to picnic. Return via the lakeshore path and then gradually up and through the forest to descend again to Hawkshead.
