The Lake District is one of our favourite places to visit, and you don’t need to climb a mountain to enjoy some of its best scenery. There are plenty of easier walks where you can enjoy the lakes, woodland, villages and surrounding fells without tackling a strenuous hike.
This page brings together our Lake District walks, with a focus on easier and relatively flat routes that we’ve enjoyed with our dogs. You’ll find lakeside walks, gentle circular routes and places that are ideal for a slower day exploring the area.
For each walk, I’ll share the practical information we like to know before setting off, including where to park, distance, approximate walking time, terrain, difficulty, toilets and whether the route is dog-friendly.
