Cumbria Way Overview
The Cumbria Way was first devised by local Ramblers Association members in the the mid 1970's. The route is a picturesque 70 mile trail through the heart of the Lake District. The South to North trail starts from Ulverston, at the Southern end of Cumbria, bisects the Lake District, and finishes in the historic city of Carlisle.
Walking is unquestionably the best way to see this celebrated landscape and unsurpassed scenery. There are a few sections of Lake District high ground that need to be crossed by way of mountain passes but this is a mainly low level route through the valleys.
The terrain on this trail is a diversity of undulating farmland, country lanes and rocky mountain paths. The Cumbria Way is an official national trail, but it is not fully way marked, therefore map and compass reading skills are essential.
