Loweswater and Holme Wood

A quieter walk from Maggie's Bridge through Watergate Farm to Holme Wood and the lakeshore. The main route is graded ‘for all’ and described as 2km each way; a newer viewpoint extension adds distance and a steep climb.

What we know

Practical details

✓ Miles Without Stiles✓ For all: main route✓ About 4km return✓ Woodland

Visitor viewStay on the main track rather than the grass shortcut. A small stream crosses the route. The optional viewpoint spur reaches 1:7, so it is not equivalent to the easier main walk. Maggie's Bridge parking is very limited and there are no toilets on the route.

Before bookingCheck the map for the main route versus the longer 5.3km listing. Keep dogs on leads around the farm and livestock.

Policies, opening times and services can change. Confirm anything essential directly before making a special journey or booking.
