94 Oxenholme Villages Circular

A 13.3 mile circular walk starting from Oxenholme Railway Station, heading north east to the village of New Hutton (2.6 miles) then south to Endmoor (8 miles), possibly for some refreshments as it has a bakery and a pub, although it's worth checking the opening times for both. You'll head north via Summerlands (10 miles) before climbing the Helm (12 miles) and arriving back at the station.

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 8 Wainwrights, 4 tarns and 1 pub.
