Cat Bells, Maiden Moor and Grange

So I have put together another quite accessible route in the Keswick area that is aimed at those who are getting into hill walking in the area and also like to appreciate a trek that offers very varied terrain and scenery to enjoy.

The route I have designed is suitable for anybody with a moderate level of hill fitness. It is not a flat walk and accrues over 650m of ascent early on, although the second half beside Derwentwater is flat and on very good paths. The total length of the walk is 14km, or 8.5 miles and is expected to take up to seven hours at a leisurely pace.

The walk will begin at the main National Trust Cat Bells car park. The post code is CA12 5UE, please bear in mind that it dovers the wider area. This is a very busy car park but we are starting…
