  • Grasmere & the Central Lake District
    © Lonely Planet Publications 84 Grasmere & the Central Lake District The broad green bowl of Grasmere acts as a kind of geographical junction for the Lake District, sandwiched between the rumpled peaks of the Langdale Pikes to the west and the gentle hummocks and open dales of the eastern fells. But Grasmere is more than just a geological centre – it’s a literary one too thanks to the poetic efforts of William Wordsworth and chums, who collectively set up home in Grasmere during the late 18th century and transformed the valley into the spiritual hub of the Romantic movement. It’s not too hard to see what drew so many poets, painters and thinkers to this idyllic corner LAKE DISTRICT LAKE DISTRICT of England. Grasmere is one of the most naturally alluring of the Lakeland valleys, studded with oak woods and glittering lakes, carpeted with flower-filled meadows, and ringed by a GRASMERE & THE CENTRAL GRASMERE & THE CENTRAL stunning circlet of fells including Loughrigg, Silver Howe and the sculptured summit of Helm Crag. Wordsworth spent countless hours wandering the hills and trails around the valley, and the area is dotted with literary landmarks connected to the poet and his contemporaries, as well as boasting the nation’s foremost museum devoted to the Romantic movement. But it’s not solely a place for bookworms: Grasmere is also the gateway to the hallowed hiking valleys of Great and Little Langdale, home to some of the cut-and-dried classics of Lakeland walking as well as one of the country’s most historic hiking inns.

  • Foreword If There’S One Walk That Captures the Sheer Variety of the Lakeland Landscape, This Is It
    4 Foreword If there’s one walk that captures the sheer variety of the Lakeland landscape, this is it. The peace and quiet of the Blawith Fells, bustling Coniston, picturesque Tarn Hows, the challenge of Stake Pass from Langdale over to Langstrath, Borrowdale, Derwent Water, Back o’ Skiddaw and the river valley approaches to Carlisle. Who could ask for more? Me. I have to confess that I’m by nature a diverter and if you’re not pushed for time, the Cumbria Way provides the perfect backbone to an exploration of a wider Lakeland – the views from the pretend lighthouse on Hoad Hill above Ulverston; The Cathedral, a spectacular slate cavern out by Tilberthwaite; the prehistoric equivalent of the iPhone at Castlerigg stone circle above Keswick – calculator, calendar, clock and messaging service all rolled into one; the atmospheric, abandoned bobbin mill in The Howk at Caldbeck; and dozens more such side-trips. But if your time is limited, come back to see all those things another day, and in the meantime relish five or six days of relatively gentle walking. In fact, if you’re new to long distance walking, this is the perfect introduction. The only real challenges are on the long haul from Mickleden up to Stake Pass, and the high-level route over the summit of High Pike. The rest of the seventy-plus miles you can devote to inspirational thoughts – such as wanting to strangle the man who wrote the Foreword when you get caught in a downpour in Langstrath (as I did) or go up to your hocks in the bogs o’ Skiddaw (as I did).
