‘The Inn Way’ is a Registered Trademark of Mark Reid, author of ‘The Inn Way’ series of guidebooks.The route is a 90 mile circular walk starting and finishing in Ambleside.
We have three options on the Lakes Inn Way. You can walk the whole route over 7 days, or do either the eastern section over three days, or the western section over four days.
The full route takes you through the popular tourist towns of Ambleside, Coniston, and Grasmere (site of Dove Cottage, former home of the poet Wordsworth), as well as through some of the Lake District’s most impressive valleys – Borrowdale, Ennerdale, and Great Langdale. A highlight is a visit to remote Wasdale Head, in the shadow of Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England.
The eastern section takes you through the more popular tourist hot-spots such as Coniston, Ambleside, and Grasmere, as well as the iconic valleys of Great Langdale and Borrowdale.
The western section takes in the quieter, western Lake District a pleasant walk along the sides of Crummock Water and Buttermere before heading into Ennerdale and Wasdale, two of the more remote valleys of the Lake District.
