Connect Patterdale with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Patterdale to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
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 Patterdale’s Slow Ways.

Lovely route along the Ullswater way and the newly opened and very well signposted Eamont way....

I've walked the Grasmere - Grisedale tarn section twice now and the rest of the route once....
Nicholas Davison
The majority of the climbing from Ambleside to the pass is along a good track (photo 1) which gradually gets steeper towards the pass itself (photo2). The path from the pass down to Patterdale is a little less well defined (photo 3), but still clearly navigable with beautiful views to the rugged head of the Patterdale valley....
Jo Wood
Not knowing Ambleside well, finding the correct road out of the town was a bit difficult. The trick is to follow signs for 'Sweden Bridge'....
JimK
It is quite a bit easier than AMBPAT1 as the Kirkstone pass is only 454m as opposed to the 616m Scandale pass but they are both very enjoyable walks....
