Visitor viewThe wide, level field path is only part of the journey: the full route also uses pavements, a minor road and a footbridge. Start outside Booths at Keswick bus station. The page's introductory heading says ‘for all’, but its current grade field says ‘for many’; we use the more cautious grade.

Before bookingCheck the map for your start and return plan, bridge access and any flood effects. Keep dogs close around livestock and traffic.
