Whinlatter Walking Trails

About

Whinlatter is a great place for walking with many miles of gravel roads, paths and tracks to explore. Create your own adventure or follow one of our clearly marked routes, with a wide range of distances and difficulty levels there’s something for you.

Explore our circular route taking in the summit of Seat How (5.75km), or enjoy a woodland walk along the Two Gills and Comb Beck paths (both 2.8km). For smaller legs, our Tracks Trail (2km) takes you on a journey to discover the wide variety of animals which call our forest home.

Wainwright baggers can use Whinlatter as a base to access Lord’s Seat, Barf and Grisedale Pike (make sure to #BeAdventureSmart and check the weather, your gear and experience before heading off!)

For people who are less mobile we also have a Tramper for here to take into the forest on the specially designed route.

To hire, users need to be members of Lake District Mobility. If you’re not an existing member, you can easily sign up online at www.lakedistrictmobility.org. An annual membership costs £10 or a taster membership that lasts for two weeks costs £2.50.

All new members will be provided with an induction on how to use the Tramper and existing users will be offered a quick refresher.

Prebooking is recommended, visit www.lakedistrictmobility.org to learn more.
