About the trail

This excellent little walking holiday is perfect for a quick foray into the world-renowned Lake District UNESCO World Heritage Site. We designed this tour as a ready-to-go gift option for a loved one, or as a mini break for yourself; go on, you’ve earned it!

This is a single-centre tour — where you return to the same accommodation both nights — with three mileage options to choose from. Whether you opt for the longest route from Coniston to Elterwater, the mid-length route from Tarn Hows to Grasmere, or the shortest route from Hawkshead to Ambleside, you are sure to have an unforgettable adventure in this iconic National Park.

Windermere Two-Night Break - Long

The longest version of this getaway explores 26 miles of varied Lake District footpaths, ideal if you’re looking for a quick break with epic scenery.

After spending the first night of your holiday in the town of Windermere (not to be confused with the nearby lake of the same name!) a taxi will collect you from your accommodation in the morning and drop you off at Coniston. The famous ‘Old Man of Coniston’ looms over the village as you commence the day’s walk, but aside from that, the route back to Windermere has plenty of wonderful sights to see.

Your second walking day will then begin from your accommodation’s doorstep, traversing diverse terrain and visiting multiple lovely villages on the way to Elterwater. A taxi transfer will then take you back to Windermere to collect your luggage, signalling the completion of your jaunt in the Lake District.
