What to expect

Expect a straightforward and well paced day with a steady climb up Latrigg on good paths, leading to great views quite early on in the walk. The ascent is short but enough to feel like you have earned the views, before a gradual descent towards Threlkeld.

The second half is much easier underfoot, following the flat railway path back towards Keswick, making it feel relaxed and sociable. Overall, it is a really manageable route that balances a bit of uphill effort with an easy finish.
