An LDWA route that goes around Lake Windemere. Among the points of interest are Jenkin's Crag, Holehird, Townend House, Orrest Head, Bowness, Gummer's How, Fell Foot, Stott Park Heights, Rawlinson Nab, Ferry House opposite Bowness, Claife Heights, and Wray Castle.

The eastern side takes diverts into the fells as much of the lake's shore is not publicly accessible, whilst the western side takes in much more of the shoreline. It is a great alternative to the Windermere Marathon for those wanting some altitude and trails.
