The Vale of Lorton  
 

This is our kindest holiday in one of the quietest areas of the Lake District National Park. It is based around the peaceful lakes of Loweswater, Crummock and Buttermere in the north west corner of the Lake District, and uses well defined paths, forestry tracks and country lanes.

The distances covered each day are relatively short with the exception of one mountain pass involving an easy climb of 200metres. The route generally keeps to relatively flat valley bottoms and there is plenty of time to take it easy, enjoy some spectacular scenery and soak up the tranquility.

We offer two holidays in the Vale of Lorton. One is for 4 nights and the other is 6 nights. Make your choice depending on your available time and the pace you find most comfortable.

  How  Difficult?
The Vale of Lorton uses well defined and maintained paths, tracks and country lanes over nearly all its route. There is just one significant ascent between Buttermere and Newlands of about 220m (650ft). The rest of the route is reasonably low-lying and rolling and the distances each day are modest.
You may be lucky enough to encounter warm, dry weather over the whole route. But it is important you carry waterproofs and are able to navigate, as both the paths and the weather can change very quickly.
