Lake District

A Motorhome, Campervan and Caravan Touring Guide to the Lakes, Fells and Valleys of Cumbria, with Walks, Real Maps and the Pubs at the End of Them

Six touring bases across the Lake District, from Coniston and Windermere to Langdale, Keswick, Ullswater and Kendal, each one a place to stay for a few nights without moving the van. For every base you get somewhere to park up and the reason to choose it, the walks, the pub worth stopping at, a wet-day plan and a plan for the days.

  • 30 walks with the official distances, from Tarn Hows, Cathedral Quarry and Moss Eccles Tarn to Stickle Tarn, Aira Force, Walla Crag and Scout Scar
  • A real map and a free GPX route for every walk, with a QR code on the walk page to find it
  • A driving map for every base, with the National Park's warnings on Wrynose, Hardknott, Honister and Red Bank Road
  • Campsites for motorhomes, campervans and caravans, checked and dated, with van length limits, club sites and caravan bans flagged
  • Dog rules walk by walk, and the car parks with no room for a van
