1. Gummer's How
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 53 reviews
Gummer's How is easy to reach via the A590, turning onto the A592 at Newby Bridge, and then right onto Fell Foot Brow. Continue to drive or cycle up the incredibly steep hill until you reach the car park at Gummer's How. There are also several laybys where you can sensibly leave your car. You can probably do without a map for the basic walk, but if you have an OS map, the grid ref for the start is SD 390 877, height 681ft. If you go off the main path onto the myriad of smaller paths, we would definitely recommend a map. Start by taking the footpath northwards, signposted Gummer's How. Almost immediately you will be rewarded with magnificent views of the lake. The path is a little bit challenging, but straightforward if you're reasonably fit and wearing sensible walking shoes. Grid ref for the summit is SD 390 884, height 1034ft. At the top there is a trig point, and some fabulous views of Windermere. Total length of the walk, there and back, is about 1.2 miles.

We walked for five days - Ulverston to Coniston, on to Old Dungeon Ghyll, then the Royal Oak Hotel at Rosthwaite - then veered off to Middle Ruddings in Braithwaite, and then, via the Castle Inn, home to Parsonby. Mostly good weather, everywhere we stayed welcoming, but the walk it self - we encountered one person on the first 14 or so miles; interesting and pleasant riverside walking on the second day; fabulous fell walking over Stake Pass (including a swim towards the end); great climb over High Spy, Maiden Moor and Catbells ending up at Braithwaite; and then our final leg home (which included the only heavy rain of the trip). We were happy to miss out on the last leg to Carlisle but to be fair we know the country in the north of the county much better than that of the south. Saw butterflies, frogs, red squirrel, many birds of all kinds and discovered all sorts of paths we didn't know existed. Could easily be done over six or seven days if you are doing the whole thing - and the country would be beautiful in late spring or early summer, if it doesn't rain too much...
