Borger Dalr Geology Walk, North Lakes Outdoors

Explore the origins of Borrowdale as you walk from Bowder Stone car park to Castle Crag, including the poignant war memorial Peace Howe, and amazing views of the flat valley bed that was formerly the bottom of an Ice Age lake. A steep but gradual climb.

At 7.4 km, this is a comfortable half-day walk for most hikers. At an average walking pace, plan for roughly 1 hour and 38 minutes.

The route forms a complete loop, returning you to where you started. This makes logistics simple and the outing entirely self-contained.

As a Local Walking Network (LWN) route, this trail has a strong community character. It serves both regular local walkers and visitors discovering the area for the first time.
