"Call it a hike, a stroll, a toddle or a ramble – there really is nothing that the British like better than a jolly good walk in the countryside. Since ancient times, people have been exploring every last inch of this old island on foot, leaving behind a great web of byways, bridleways, lanes, tracks and footpaths covering practically every corner of the British landscape."

Itinerary
Sam Talucci has assembled a curated walking and hiking trip in the Lake District, Cumbria Way.
The Cumbria Way is a 73 mile, relatively low-level linear walk through some of the most beautiful & contrasting landscapes that Cumbria has to offer. Linking the historic town of Ulverston and the equally historic city of Carlisle, the route showcases majestic mountain scenery, lakes and tarns, woodland walks, glacial valleys as well as pastoral walks alongside rivers and becks. Along with the traditional hospitality of Cumbrians, great accommodation choices and plenty of fine inns along the route I can guarantee the Cumbria Way will leave you with a massive smile on your face and some fantastic memories. We will hike the central section which is the most visually stunning.
