This walk will take you on a journey through some of Lakeland's finest scenery, linking Keswick, Buttermere and Borrowdale Youth Hostels. The hostels at Honister and Derwentwater also offer alternative locations for accommodation.

Route Description and Schematic Maps made available as 'Downloads' by kind permission of Martyn Hanks who designed these routes to encourage walking and use of the 'Youth Hostels' some of which are now sadly closed. However there are other accommodation options where hostels have closed.
