Day 1 Arrive in Ulverston and overnightUlverston is easily reached by train from Manchester Airport (2h20) or London (4h20). Ulverston is a delightful friendly town with a unique charm. Olde worlde pubs, cafes and cobbled streets hold many surprises.
Church Walk House is a Grade II* Listed Building is in the heart of Ulverston's historic Market Town. It is the closest accommodation to the start of the Cumbria Way - just step out the door! Martin and John look forward to offering you a very warm welcome in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Outside the gardens overlook the countryside of Ulverston and Morecambe bay and in the spring come alive with daffodils. There is also a large conservatory to relax in, which has views over the Bay.
Starting from The Gill and perhaps paying a visit to the Laurel & Hardy Museum or Barrow Monument, you quickly leave Ulverston. A pleasant walk through rich farmland soon brings you to the Lake District National Park and the views across the Coniston Fells are splendid. A rough Lakeland path brings the chimneys of Coniston Hall into view, which marks the day's end.
Now mainly a base for outdoor enthusiasts, Coniston was originally a slate mining village. Famous for being the site of Donald Campbell's ill-fated world record water speed attempt, it is a lovely town and nearby Tarn Howes is one of the lake's most popular beauty spots.

The Bluebird Lodge Guest House is in a quiet corner of the English Lakes and offers comfortable rooms, a warm welcome and some of the best views in the area.

We have 15 comfortable bedrooms each with bath/shower ensuite, colour TV, tea/coffee making facilities, hair-dryer, full central heating and double glazing.

These are made using only the finest natural ingredients available and our local mountain water. The beer is cask conditioned before being sold to our discerning customers in the bar.
A delightful day of Lakeland walking delivers views that will take your breath away. Elterwater and Chapel Stile both make excellent lunch stops. Dungeon Ghyll is just one of a few hamlets and lodgings which have been welcoming Lakeland travellers for centuries.

There is a choice today between a high-level hike that passes over the peaks of the Lake District fells and is a lot more demanding in terms of terrain (24.5km / 15 miles) or a low-level hike that skirts around the bottom of the peaks (29km / 18 miles).
Whilst called the low-level hike, please do not underestimate its difficulty, the low-level hike is still longer in terms of overall distance but it is a little easier on the knees with around 100m less elevation to tackle and less demanding terrain underfoot! The choice is yours but a great day's walking is guaranteed!
- Low Level - Ascent: +665m / Descent: -595m
- High Level - Ascent: +735m / Descent: -660m

Solo Travellers, Families with Teens
The minimum age for this tour is: 12 Years
This tour is graded moderate as even though you are in the hilly Lake District this route tends to stick to the low-level trails. This means you get to enjoy stunning views from the valley floors, without having to climb endless hills and summits.
The route starts among farms and fields, then runs through Lake District National Park. The first real climb is to the top of Stake Pass between Great Langdale and Borrowdale, apart from that there is little elevation gain in the first section just north of Ulverston.
Then the route goes over the summit of High Pike (part of the Northern Fells), which does feel more exposed, but this can be skipped by the lower-level alternative if visibility is poor. The final stage into Carlisle is mostly flat and easy-going, following riverside paths and tracks.
One of the highlights of this tour is the high standard of accommodation. You will stay in carefully selected 3 or 4-star B&B's, Guest Houses, country pubs and small hotels. Your room will always have an ensuite or private bathroom. A delicious breakfast is always included.
Accommodation Location
We will always try and accommodate you at the locations detailed in your itinerary. Occasionally, because of limited availability, there is the option to be accommodated at an alternative location. In the unlikely event that we have to accommodate you elsewhere, we will advise you of this before confirming your booking.
Single Rooms
If you require single rooms within your party we will always try and accommodate you subject to availability. A single supplement is payable. This trip is also available to solo walkers although again a supplement will apply.
Additional Nights
You may wish to take extra nights along the route, either to rest or for those with plenty of energy to explore some other walking opportunities nearby. We recommend an additional night at:
Keswick - Around the halfway point of the Cumbria Way lies Keswick, a buzzing town that is a hub of activity and home of adventure in the Lake District! It has plenty of traditional pubs, interesting museums, restaurants and local walks to keep a weary traveller intrigued and occupied!
There are small arrows or plastic discs with small writing indicating ‘Cumbria Way’ throughout the trail, that said, "The Cumbria Way" is not an official National trail and was created by the Ramblers Association therefore signage is not always as frequent as you'd necessarily expect for high profile hiking trail in the Lake District. Navigation is still relatively straightforward as you can use the Macs Adventure App which has maps, GPS tracks and daily route information. Simply download the GPS tracks for offline use and follow the route on your phone with the assurance that navigation on this tour will be made simple. You will find more information on downloading the app in your Macs Adventure Account.

The Cumbria Way is available to start daily between April and October.
We also offer this tour in the quieter shoulder months of March and mid-to-late October. During these times, the local towns and villages will be more peaceful, and the trails less crowded. However, the weather and trail conditions have the potential to be more challenging. Be prepared for colder temperatures, wind, rain, and muddy paths!
There is never a bad time to be walking the Cumbria Way, but our personal favourites are spring and autumn.
Please note that as there are some restrictions in Great Langdale and Rosthwaite with 1 night bookings at the weekend, we may have to book you for 2 nights in either Coniston or Keswick with return transfers which we will include in the cost.
By Train: Ulverston is easily reached by train from Manchester Airport (2h20) or London Euston (3h20).
Please check the Traveline website for bus and linking train timetables.
The Trainline website is our recommended choice for train timetables and bookings. Please note train timetables and tickets are usually only available within 12 weeks of travel.
By Car: Long term parking is difficult in Ulverston. You would be better parking your car in Carlisle and taking the train to the start point.
By Train: Carlisle is on the West Coast mainline and there are regular direct trains to Glasgow (1hr), London Euston (3hr30) and Manchester Airport (2hr15).
The Trainline website is our recommended choice for train timetables and bookings. Please note train timetables and tickets are usually only available within 12 weeks of travel.
Your bags will be transferred from your accommodation as per your itinerary and moved onto your next overnight accommodation.
At Macs Adventure, we work in partnership with many luggage transfer providers who set a limit on how many bags/suitcases they will transfer per person, and also the weight of the bag/suitcase. Your booking includes transfer of 1 bag per person. It is very important that you read the luggage information specific to your tour before departure. If you do not adhere to these limits, there is a great possibility that you will be charged locally both for extra bags or if they are too heavy. This limitation can be a challenge, especially as airlines generally have limits that are higher. However, our luggage providers have reasons for these limits (usually due to the Health and Safety of their employees), which we must respect.
The distances and ascent/descents are approximations of the recommended routes.
Walking Direction
We recommend you walk from Ulverston to Carlisle as you will have the wind at your back.
Online Documents
At Macs Adventure we care about the environment! We’re taking action to minimize the impact we have by converting the majority of our tour documentation for online delivery.
On this tour, all your detailed tour information will be digitally delivered. You will have access to this documentation via “My Account” on our website.
Please be prepared by packing all necessary items, for example, proper rain gear (jacket and trousers), sun hat, sunscreen. Your information pack has a detailed equipment list which includes standard walking gear such as good walking boots or shoes, warm and waterproof clothes for the cooler months and lightweight clothing for summer, and a day pack.
As this tour is available through our Macs Adventure Smartphone App you will be using your smartphone. Keeping the device in flight mode will keep the battery from running out too quickly, however, always ensure your phone is fully charged before setting off; if you doubt the battery will last throughout the hike, it might be beneficial to bring a power bank.
It is a requirement of booking this tour with Macs Adventure that you have suitable travel insurance which covers you for the activity and emergency evacuation and hospital care.
We offer a range of itineraries so you can choose your preferred daily distance so hopefully you will find an itinerary that suits your preferred level of activity. If you currently don’t enjoy an active lifestyle we suggest regular walking in hilly terrain supplemented by cardio vascular exercise for at least 6 months prior to your walk. A good gym or personal trainer will be able to draw up a personalised training programme.
As far in advance as possible! We suggest you book as soon as your plans are finalised as The Lake District is extremely popular. If booking at short notice we will always try and accommodate your plans.
You will need good walking shoes/boots (ideally waterproof), comfortable walking clothes, waterproof jacket and trousers, a daypack and hats/gloves etc.
The Cumbria Way is very enjoyable at any time between April and mid October.
Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate walkers with dogs as many of the accommodation providers we use do not accept pets.
You can use local bus services or local taxis to continue to your next overnight stop.
