WalkLakes

Lake District Walks

Our aim at WalkLakes is to help you make the most of walking in the Lake District. We do that by searching out the best walks we can find from gentle to challenging and also by putting you in touch with other people who have walked in the Lake District via our forum.

If you want you can keep track of your walks using our web site and log how many hills you've climbed and of what type, be they Wainwrights, Birketts, Hewitts, Nuttalls, or Marilyns. You can also explore all the hills in the Lake District using our interactive map or throughout Great Britain using our hill finder.

We hope we can help you get more out of walking in the Lake District but do let us know if there's anything more we could do to help.


Felltop Forecast

This evening

Cloudy with mist, drizzle and fog.

Tomorrow

Cloudy and overcast with drizzle and fog.

Mostly cloudy and overcast with mist, fog and occasional drizzle. The drizzle most widespread overnight and early morning. Cloud lifting a little during the day, before lowering again in the evening. There is a marked temperature inversion due to the dominant high pressure system. This means that some of the higher summits like Helvellyn and Scafell Pike could be cloud free, but details around this are uncertain.

Visibility: Extensive cloud, base 100 to 400m, but capped around the summits due to a temperature inversion. Lowest cloud early and late in the day, lifting a little by afternoon. Visibility mostly moderate to very poor, but very good in any summit clearance and good at times low down during daylight hours.

Daylight: dawn 06:48, sunrise 07:27, sunset 16:24, dusk 17:03
