The Lake District National Park<\/a>\u00a0comprises\u00a0912 square miles of high mountains, lakes, rivers and coastline. No wonder, then, that it was loved so dearly by Beatrix\u00a0potter, Alfred Wainwright, Arthur Ransome and William and Dorothy Wordsworth, along with the\u00a016 million visitors it receives every year.<\/p>\n

There are hundreds of miles of footpaths in the Lake District so, no matter what you ability, the chances are there is a walk for you.<\/p>\n

But for those seeking a little guidance, we\u2019ve come up with a definitive list of the very best walks in the Lake District, from family-friendly autumn rambles and easy waterfalls walks, to circular dog walks and spectacular mountain hikes.<\/p>\n

From the wooded shores of Ullswater where swans<\/a> glide gracefully on Lakeland\u2019s second largest body of water, to rocky mountains where peregrines<\/a> chase down their prey with brutal efficiency, this walk takes in a massive range of habitats.<\/p>\n

Wood pasture, high grassland, rugged fells and even a Victorian arboretum\u00a0can all be seen along the way.<\/p>\n
