Corpse Road and Tumuli Walk, North Lakes Outdoors

Get under the skin of the Cumbrian landscape on this trail through a patchwork of natural and archaeological features. Varying terrain with a gradual climb to High Nook, paths can be slippery when wet.

This 5.8 km route sits in the sweet spot for a half-day outing — long enough to feel rewarding, short enough to leave the afternoon free. Expect around 1 hour and 18 minutes.

Laid out as a circular walk, this trail finishes exactly where it begins — no need to arrange transport back or retrace your steps.

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.
