Aikton walks

A quick sunset walk up to Binsey Wainwright in the Lake District. With lovely views looking towards the Skiddaw range and Bassenthwaite.

Nice circular walk to Binsey summit.
⚠️The way back is on the road. The section after is on a busy road without pavement.

Nice circular walk from Orthwaite village around Little Cockup and Great Cockup. This path is not really popular. Dog friendly.

⚠️Good navigation skill is needed as the path is not visible the entire walk.

Great walk to Carrock Fell. The path to the summit is very steep but short. A bit of scrambling to reach the summit.

A virtually level farmland and mossland stroll through two pretty Lakeland hamlets with views of Carrock Fell and beyond.

Lovely walk around Sale Fell summit with great views on Bassenthwaite Lake and surrounding summits. Dog friendly walk.

Easy dog friendly walk in the Scottish countryside. This walk is mainly flat and passes in front of some interesting buildings (the old St Mungo's church graveyard and the abandoned Milkbank House).

The broad ridge of Souther Fell gives excellent views of Blencathra and more distantly over the Vale of Eden to the North Pennines.

Circular route up to the Saddleback of Blencathra. The route follows some of the easier routes on this iconic fell; the
still-considerable effort is rewarded with dramatic mountain views.

Dog-friendly circular walk following the Sandbed Gill trail in Dodd Wood and extended to go around the summit of Watches. Beautiful views of Bassenthwaite lake.

Great walk combining two small Wainwright summits Sale Fell and Ling Fell. Dog friendly; however can have sheep in the fields.

Sharp Edge is the highlight of this Lake District walk to Blencathra's highest point at Hallsfell Top. Sharp Edge is challenging mountain environment and needs treating with respect. The views from the Top are stunning covering most of the Lake District's highest fells.

Varying walk covering the 5 most North Westerly Wainwright fells. Taking in the summits of Barf, Lords Seat, Broom Fell, Ling Fell and Sales fell. With views the full length of Bassenthwaite Lake and the magnificent massive of Skiddaw. Coastal views should be evident on a clear day.

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 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 and finishing at a YHA in The Lakes. There are 6 Wainwrights, 1 lake, 3 tarns and a ferry.

At 368m (1207ft), Lattrig is one of the lowest fells in the Lake District. However, the views from the summit are unrivalled and that’s what makes it such a popular climb. This route takes you steeply uphill through both Lattrig and Bruntholme Woods before an easy ascent to the Viewpoint.

Dog-friendly circular walk to Grisedale Pike summit. This walk was done clockwise; however anti-clockwise is better if you prefer a smoother descent.

This is half of the classic Coledale Horseshoe walk. It ascends the magnificent Grisedale Pike and Hopegill Head before descending over Sandhill to Coledale Hause and then taking the path down to the Force Crag Mine track in Coledale for the return leg. It passes next to Force Crag Mine and if you check with the National Trust you could time this walk with the option to tour the mine buildings.

Short circular walk from Braithwaite passing by Whinlatter forest. Dog friendly.

Low level circular walk from Braithwaite and passing by the side of Cat bells summit and Portinscale village. Dog friendly

This is such a short walk, but it serves a purpose. With International Astronomy Day falling on 12th October, this short stroll will take you to a local viewpoint very close to Keswick where you can leave the light pollution behind and watch the stars from this perfect spot.

A linear Lake District walk that follows the shore of Derwentwater south from Keswick to Lodore landing stage. The return to Keswick uses the seasonal launces on Derwentwater.
