Description

George Fisher's Tea Round is a 30 mile route with 10,000+ feet of ascent that starts and finishes at the doors of George Fisher in Keswick.

Launched in 2017, the Tea Round is the brain child of former George Fisher staff member Jacob Tonkin… who linked together this exciting route which includes all of the tops that can be viewed out of our café window on the top floor of our store.

You can do them in any order that you like, clockwise or anticlockwise. To reduce unnecessary damage and erosion to the fells we would recommend following the route plan below:

Starting at the doors of George Fisher, you have a short run out to Portinscale Village before heading up and over Catbells, then down into little town in the Newlands Valley. You should then head past Newlands Church and up the grassy banks of Robinson before running around the shores of Buttermere. You will then be confronted with a steep climb up High Stile and a descent back to Buttermere via Red Pike (recommended, but not compulsory, route to avoid erosion) and past Bleaberry Tarn. Then there will be a long slog out of Buttermere up Whiteless Pike. From here head over to Crag Hill, traverse along and then up Grisdale Pike, via Hobcarton Crag. You will then head back on yourself and off to Eel Crag, across to Sail and Scar Crags and onto Causey Pike. Descend from Causey Pike onto Rowling End, drop down into Stoneycroft Ghyll before taking on the last fell of the day, Barrow! Then head back to Keswick to touch the doors of George Fisher and stop the clock.
