You don\u2019t have to relegate your walking boots to the back of the cupboard and don cosy slippers just because it\u2019s winter. According to award-winning guidebook writer and photographer Vivienne Crow, the coldest season can lead to some of the best walking experiences, particularly when there\u2019s snow on the fells. She\u2019s come up with 10 walks that are suitable for the winter months, all accessible by Stagecoach bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The routes range from an invigorating 90 minute coastal stroll to an exhilarating six hour hike on the high fells. Most are low level, although you\u2019ll still need to make sure you\u2019ve got a map and are equipped for the terrain and changeable weather. Take a torch too as it gets dark early this time of year. If you are thinking of tackling one of the fell walks, check out the Adventure Smart website<\/strong><\/a> for advice as well as the National Park\u2019s daily ground conditions reports<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For bus times, go to the Stagecoach website<\/strong><\/a> or download the Stagecoach Bus app from Google Play or Apple\u2019s App Store. Pensioners travel free with a NoW card<\/strong><\/a> while everyone else pays only \u00a32 per journey under the national fare-cap scheme, at least until December 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk 1: Castlerigg Stone Circle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bus routes<\/strong>: 554, Lakes Connection 555<\/a><\/strong>, Borrowdale Bus 78<\/a><\/strong> or X4\/X5 to Keswick<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Length\/difficulty<\/strong>: 4\u00be miles; easy; approximately 2\u00bc hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Map<\/strong>: Ordnance Survey OL4, English Lakes NW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of Britain\u2019s oldest and most dramatically located stone circles, Castlerigg was built about 5,000 years ago, and it\u2019s a place where crowds still gather on the winter solstice. Did the people of the New Stone Age build this monument as a calendar? Or as a religious site? Maybe it was a trading centre, a theory suggested after Victorian archaeologists discovered Langdale axe-heads here. Like so many similar prehistoric sites throughout Cumbria, Castlerigg remains an enigma \u2013 and an atmospheric one at that. Reaching the circle from Keswick is a straightforward affair, through woods, over fields and along quiet lanes, but always accompanied by views of some of our highest and most impressive mountains, including Skiddaw, Blencathra and the Helvellyn range. In that sense at least, little has changed since the circle was constructed in 3000BC. Return to Keswick \u2013 with its host of modern-day treats including coffee and cake, or pints of real ale \u2013 via quiet lanes and the Keswick Railway Path, which follows the route of the disused Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk 2: Skiddaw Little Man<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bus routes<\/strong>: 554, Lakes Connection 555<\/a><\/strong>, Borrowdale Bus 78<\/a><\/strong> or X4\/X5 to Keswick<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Length\/difficulty<\/strong>: 9 miles; hard; approximately 6 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Map<\/strong>: Ordnance Survey OL4, English Lakes NW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can\u2019t manage to get all the way up to the summit of England\u2019s fourth highest mountain, this subsidiary peak is a good compromise. Located on Skiddaw\u2019s south-east shoulder, Skiddaw Little Man can be reached directly from Keswick using the so-called \u2018tourist\u2019 path for much of the way. This constructed trail can feel like a bit of a slog at times, but it makes relatively light work of the climb and gives you lots of opportunities to enjoy the vista \u2013 to the west, a long line of high fells steadily unfurls, stretching from Grisedale Pike in the north to Bow Fell in the south. From the 2,837ft (865m) summit, the view also takes in Ullock Pike to the north-west, beyond which the Scottish hills are visible on a clear day. Far below, Derwentwater glints in the winter sunshine. To avoid a there-and-back walk, descend via Lonscale Fell, with its superb, bird\u2019s-eye perspective on the steep-sided valley carved by the Glenderaterra Beck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk 3: Heughscar Hill and the Cockpit Stone Circle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bus route<\/strong>: 508 to Pooley Bridge<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Length\/difficulty<\/strong>: 6 miles; easy\/moderate; approximately 3 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Map<\/strong>: Ordnance Survey OL5, English Lakes NE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 508 bus calls in at Pooley Bridge on its way from Penrith to Patterdale. Alight at this popular village, at the northern tip of Ullswater, to access the lake shore and low fells that are dotted with Bronze Age remains. A surfaced lane and rough track lead up on to the moorland, where a network of trails criss-crosses Heughscar Hill, providing uninterrupted views of the lake below and the craggy mountains at its southern end. The next stop on this whistle-stop tour is the Cockpit Stone Circle, not as old or as dramatic as Castlerigg, but still wonderfully atmospheric. From here, descend with the Ullswater Way\u2019s high-level option along the base of Barton Fell and then down to Crook-a-dyke. Here, we join the low-level Ullswater Way as it crosses farmland and skims the shores of Ullswater to return to Pooley Bridge. With buses running until late in the day, there\u2019s time to enjoy some leisurely refreshments in one of the village\u2019s many pubs or caf\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk 4: Aira Force and Gowbarrow Fell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bus route<\/strong>: 508 to Aira<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Length\/difficulty<\/strong>: 4 miles; moderate; approximately 2\u00be hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Map<\/strong>: Ordnance Survey OL5, English Lakes NE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can it be true that the most spectacular view in the eastern Lake District is from a point little more than 1,000ft above sea level? And can it really be enjoyed on a straightforward walk from one of the National Park\u2019s favourite beauty spots? Catch the 508 bus from Penrith to Aira, head up the spectacular Aira Gorge with its fascinating arboretum, see one of the Lake District\u2019s most impressive waterfalls and then climb Gowbarrow Fell to find out. The outlook from the 1,578ft (481m) summit is good; the views of Ullswater as the path winds its way around the eastern edge of the fell are pretty special; but it\u2019s the jaw-dropping scene to the south-west \u2013 suddenly revealed as the path rounds a bend on the southern side of the fell \u2013 that will literally stop you in your tracks. The western expanse of Ullswater is revealed, blue and inviting, with the dark, craggy Helvellyn range forming the perfect backdrop. Make sure your camera battery is fully charged because you\u2019ll be taking lots of photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk 5: Staveley to Windermere via the Dales Way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bus route<\/strong>: walk from Staveley and then catch the Lakes Connection 555<\/a><\/strong> bus back from Windermere<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Length\/difficulty<\/strong>: 5\u00bd miles; easy\/moderate; approximately 3 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Map<\/strong>: Ordnance Survey OL7, English Lakes SE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crossing low-lying, hilly ground between Staveley and Windermere, this charming linear walk follows the well-waymarked Dales Way for much of its gently undulating journey. Grab a picnic from the artisan bakery in Staveley\u2019s Mill Yard and set off along quiet country lanes, over rough grazing land and across open, grassy hillsides. With snatched glimpses of the high Lakeland fells having come and gone, the route then abandons the Dales Way to climb to the viewpoint of School Knott. At 761ft (232m) above sea level, this tranquil spot marks the high point of the walk in more ways than one. From here, you get superb views of the northern end of England\u2019s largest natural lake as well as the shapely Langdale Pikes. There\u2019s no better spot to unwrap that picnic that\u2019s been calling to you since you set off on your walk. Refuelled, drop north-west from School Knott to reach the edge of Windermere town for the 555 bus back to Staveley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk 6: Orrest Head to Ambleside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bus route<\/strong>: walk from Windermere and then catch the Lakes Connection 555<\/a><\/strong> bus back from Ambleside<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Length\/difficulty<\/strong>: 8 miles; moderate; approximately 4\u00bc hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Map<\/strong>: Ordnance Survey OL7, English Lakes SE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the previous walk, this one links two places served by the 555 bus. As with most linear walks, the views are constantly changing: one minute you\u2019re gazing out across Windermere, the next you\u2019re staring up into the wilds of the Kentmere fells or across to the Langdales. And with relatively steady gradients throughout and good going underfoot, you\u2019ll have plenty of opportunity to appreciate fully these beautiful surroundings. Setting off from Windermere, the route first climbs Orrest Head, a viewpoint closely linked with the famous Lakeland guidebook writer Alfred Wainwright. While on his first proper holiday at the age of just 23, he experienced \u201ca moment of magic\u201d as he climbed to the top and soaked up the scene. Today, there are lots of benches from which to enjoy the view, but don\u2019t hang around for long \u2013 it\u2019s still several miles to Ambleside. The route crosses farmland and makes its way along walled lanes to reach Troutbeck. More walled lanes and tracks then lead to the atmospheric Skelghyll Wood before finally descending to Ambleside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk 7: Red Screes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bus route<\/strong>: Lakes Connection 555<\/a><\/strong> to Ambleside<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Length\/difficulty<\/strong>: 7\u00be miles; moderate\/hard; approximately 5 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Map<\/strong>: Ordnance Survey OL7, English Lakes SE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seen from Kirkstone Pass, Red Screes is a formidable-looking mountain \u2013 a mess of scree and crags rising almost vertically from the road. Approached from Ambleside, however, it becomes a more amiable fell with rounded, grassier slopes. Heading off from the village\u2019s bus stands, this route starts with a lovely stroll along Scandale Beck, through woodland that is full of the sound of birdsong and the whooshing rush of the beck as it speeds through the steep-sided gorge. Emerging from the trees, you get to see more of the rugged scenery of Scandale, the narrow valley squeezed between the eastern arm of the popular Fairfield Horseshoe and the Snarker Pike ridge. Despite having a clear drove road running straight through it, this feels like a wild place as we steadily gain height. From Scandale Pass, the climb briefly becomes steeper and rougher. Finally, you reach the 2,545ft (776m) summit of Red Screes with its magnificent views that include the mountains of North Wales on a clear day. The route back to Ambleside uses an easy-going, grassy ridge path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk 8: Great Langdale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bus route<\/strong>: 516 to Elterwater<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Length\/difficulty<\/strong>: 7\u00be miles; easy\/moderate; approximately 3\u00be hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Map<\/strong>: Ordnance Survey OL7, English Lakes SE and OL6, English Lakes SW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towered over by the iconic Langdale Pikes and culminating in the high wall of rock thrown up by the ridge comprising Crinkle Crags and Bow Fell, Great Langdale is one of Lakeland\u2019s most dramatic dales. And, with the 516 from Ambleside making several stops in the valley \u2013 as far as the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel \u2013 the bus is the easiest way to access a host of excellent walks. If there\u2019s snow on the fells or winter\u2019s winds are raging, consider staying in the valley bottom and simply gazing up at those tremendous peaks. Starting from Elterwater, head through woodland and across open pasture as far as the Old Dungeon Ghyll. Turning downstream, you now follow a trail along the base of the Langdale Pikes and riverside paths, fringed in places by woodland. Alternatively, to stay out a little longer, consider extending the route beyond the Old Dungeon Ghyll to include a loop into Mickleden, adding just over 2 miles to the total distance but bringing a much greater sense of remoteness to the outing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk 9: North Walney<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bus route<\/strong>: 2 to West Shore (Earnse Bay), Walney Island<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Length\/difficulty<\/strong>: 4 miles; easy\/moderate; approximately 1\u00bd hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Map<\/strong>: Ordnance Survey OL6, English Lakes SW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windswept Walney Island, just a 10-minute bus ride from the centre of Barrow-in-Furness, is home to two fascinating nature reserves. In the south is a Cumbria Wildlife Trust nature reserve, where the county\u2019s only breeding colony of grey seal basks on the beaches. More easily reached from the West Shore bus stop though is the National Nature Reserve at the northern end of this long sliver of land. Here, you\u2019ll find a range of habitats, including huge sand dunes, dune heath, mudflats, shingle beaches and salt marsh \u2013 all with a beguiling backdrop provided by the Lake District\u2019s moody southern fells. Whatever time of year you visit, you\u2019re guaranteed a wildlife spectacle. In spring, a chorus of natterjack toads, one of the UK\u2019s rarest amphibians, can be heard at dusk; in summer, wildflower displays bring colour to the site; while, at this time of year, birdwatchers will be treated to large numbers of over-wintering waders, including huge, shimmering flocks of knots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk 10: Whitbarrow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bus route<\/strong>: X6 to Longhowe End, near Witherslack<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Length\/difficulty<\/strong>: 7\u00bc miles; moderate; approximately 3\u00bd hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Map<\/strong>: Ordnance Survey OL7, English Lakes SE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lakeland and limestone? The two simply don\u2019t go together, do they? But in the south of the National Park are some low fells that create a landscape more akin to North Yorkshire than Cumbria. One of these hills, Whitbarrow, is a National Nature Reserve that is home to several endangered species. The base of this gorgeous chunk of rock can be reached via a series of quiet lanes leading north-west from the X6 bus stop on the A590. The sheer cliffs, glimpsed through the trees, sparkle like silver in the winter sunshine as you make your way steeply up through woodland to the summit plateau\u2019s limestone grassland. The first cairn is a great place to sit and take stock \u2013 behind, the meandering River Kent enters Morecambe Bay; to your right are the Howgills and the Yorkshire Dales; ahead are the Lake District fells \u2013 before reaching Lord\u2019s Seat, Whitbarrow\u2019s highest point. A steep path through a gap in the limestone scar then drops walkers at Witherslack before the route climbs up and over Yewbarrow\u2019s shoulder to return to Longhowe End.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
