The Cumbria Way is 73 miles travelling throughout the length of Cumbria passing through the Lake District of England. Generally, completed in 4 – 6 days it’s a great trail for hikers who are new to through hiking. For those who are more experienced there is the opportunity to do the Mountain route and wild camp.
This video endeavours to cover all the aspects to consider when planning a through hike of the Cumbria Way as noted below and in the video.

Getting to the start and leaving the finish is relatively easy as the start and finish are located near railway stations with regular connections to the rest of the country. Also, accommodation of all varieties is available in abundance due to the popularity of the Lake District. Not only does the popularity provide good selection of accommodation but resupply is also easy with the major locations of Coniston and Keswick, in addition to a number of village stores located along the route. Water is plentiful if you take the precaution of carrying a filter.

Living on flat land makes me wonder about climbs but maybe this is doable. Funny the Tabasco sign in the hut. Comes from this part of Louisiana. Very helpful video thanks!😊
Absolutely great! Being there and going in all that beautiful nature is a blessing! Be healthy, enjoy! 👏🏻
Another winner Nigel👍
A great and informative summary – thank you!
I wonder if you have any thoughts on the high route vs the valley route? And, if a hybrid of the two might be desirable to get the best of both routes? Also, any pros or cons comparing S to N vs N to S?
SOLD. Thanks for a great review.
