A short walking holiday from Great Langdale to Keswick through the very heart of the Lake District.
From £290 per person
Follow a mixture of woodland trails and lakeside paths on this two-day exploration of the Lake District, which follows the very central section of the Cumbria Way.
From the marvellous mountain views from Stake Pass to the enthralling expanse of Derwentwater, complete with its four islands, there’s an abundance of natural beauty to admire. Vibrant local towns provide perfect rest stops throughout, particularly the thriving town of Keswick, where this wonderful taster break comes to its conclusion.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to walk more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard.
Below are the additional costs that may apply depending on your requirements. Dog friendly tours are subject to a Daily Dog Charge, which will be listed below if applicable. Our standard prices per person are based upon two people sharing a room; if you are walking on your own, or are part of a group but require a room of your own, then the Solo Walker or Single Supplements apply respectively:
