Cumbria Way Run

Following mainly low-level paths along valleys and over passes, the Cumbria Way Run explores the delights of the Lake District without the worry of more technical or wilder terrain.

The route cuts through classic Lakeland territory, including dramatic Langdale, much-mythologised Borrowdale, Derwent Water, Skiddaw Forest, Caldbeck and more. This is the land of William Wordsworth and Alfred Wainwright, who called the fells his “magic mountains”.

The Cumbria Way is the perfect choice for exploring England's most spectacular scenery, especially for those wanting an approachable challenge.
