WalkLakes

Lake District Walks

Our aim at WalkLakes is to help you make the most of walking in the Lake District. We do that by searching out the best walks we can find from gentle to challenging and also by putting you in touch with other people who have walked in the Lake District via our forum.

If you want you can keep track of your walks using our web site and log how many hills you've climbed and of what type, be they Wainwrights, Birketts, Hewitts, Nuttalls, or Marilyns. You can also explore all the hills in the Lake District using our interactive map or throughout Great Britain using our hill finder.

We hope we can help you get more out of walking in the Lake District but do let us know if there's anything more we could do to help.

A mainly dry evening with cloud and patchy hill fog lifting and any remaining patches of light rain dying out. Light wind.

Much of the day dry and bright, with the best of the sunshine before mid morning. Clouding over later with the chance of the odd shower and even some more persistent rain in the evening.

Cloud breaking up further overnight with some clear periods and a chance of some isolated low level fog patches either side of dawn. Then a bright mainly day, with some good sunny periods until mid morning, before cloud builds up. This mainly thin and above the tops but perhaps enough for a light shower. In the evening lower cloud and patchy rain may edge up into the south of the Lake District.
