This trail takes in each of the main Lake District valleys, along lake shores and over remote mountain passes.

The route takes you through some of the Lake District’s most impressive valleys including the more remote valleys of the western Lake District such as Eskdale, Wasdale and Ennerdale, linked together with paths over high mountain passes. One of the many highlights of this scenic tour is a visit to the remote Wasdale Head in the shadow of Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England.

  • A Brief History of Kentmere
    A Brief History of Kentmere Our story probably begins around 4000BC and it is likely that the first people to inhabit this valley were wandering groups who came here in the later Stone Age. At that time our hills were almost covered in forest and the few animals they had with them would graze along the edge of the wooded areas gradually clearing them. By Roman times much of the forest had been driven back so even in those early days farming had a significant impact upon the landscape and the farmers’ work over centuries eventually led to the attractive patchwork of fields, walls and woodland that we have today. It is probable that the first people to settle here were here came during the Iron Age. They would be Celtic farmers who between 100BC and AD400 built small communities in the valley. Four of these settlements have been discovered. The sites of their huts – although now little more that piles of stone – are still visible. The site at Millriggs is particularly interesting. A glass bracelet dating from AD150 was found there. The Romans came to this part of the world around AD90. They built a fort at Watercrook, Kendal and another at Galava, Ambleside and the road linking them ran through Kentmere. This road would be used by local people as well and perhaps there was a measure of trade with the Roman soldiers. Two places – ‘High Street’ and Broadgate’ show evidence of a paved road above Kentmere to the west although after the Romans left around AD400 the forts and roads all fell into disrepair and ruin.
