One Way using Public Transport

To explore the Borrowdale Valley take the bus to Seatoller and return to Keswick. The Seatoller to Keswick walk starts alongside the embryonic River Derwent and completes the day with a choice of 3 paths alongside Derwentwater. The Walk The first part of the walk in Upper Borrowdale is a delight. Head alongside the River

Use the excellent ferry service to enjoy this Derwentwater walk without having to walk the 4 miles return from Keswick. The paths pick their way amongst the trees on the shoreline and the views over the lake are always interesting. It is the best part of Derwentwater and very straightforward. The Walk The pretty woodland

Walking the full High Street Ridge from Troutbeck to Pooley Bridge There are only two continuously high ridges that link the north and south of the Lake District. The first travels over Helvellyn but further east the longest stretch of high level walking is from Troutbeck (near Windermere) to Pooley Bridge at the northern end

To complete the one way Buttermere to Keswick walk via Newlands take the bus to Buttermere. There is a choice of return walks through Newlands valley itself or over Ard Crags which is my favourite.

To fully appreciate the beauty of Ullswater take the ferry to the quieter southern shores and walk back. The path is delightful and the ever changing lakeside views always interesting.

The best walk from Kendal to Windermere is via the Dales Way long Distance footpath. This one way walk passes through rolling countryside, unspoilt tarns with great views over the southern lakes.
