Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Loweswater’s Slow Ways.

The path follows Crummock Water and has beautiful views of the fells around Loweswater and Buttermere.

After you follow the path west, you'll descend along Liza Beck on a path that is slightly trickier underfoot.

Where the route has been mapped here is OK, but you'll be fighting through quite a bit of bracken and narrow path....

This is a magnificent ridge walk and great for a long day's walking in good weather. The views from Grisedale Pike are stunning and from here on it's a relatively easy walk along a narrow ridge. Mostly OK provided you are experienced at walking in the Lakes, but the approach to Grisedale Pike is very steep and rocky. It's a great ridge, but it's narrow in places. The path is usually on the southern side of the ridge but particularly between Hobcarton and Whiteside there's a steep drop down to the left....
