“Latrigg is to Keswick what Loughrigg is to Ambleside and Helm Crag to Grasmere: a small hill, an excellent viewpoint, a great favourite of local folk and visitors”

A Wainwright

Latrigg, the lowest of the Northern Fells of the Lake District despite it lack of height has much to offer the walker,scenic woodlands, wonderful views over Keswick, Derwentwater, Borrowdale and Bassenthwaite, the deep gorge of the River Greta and good views of the higher fells of the Lake District.

Why not take a pleasant stroll with us as we climb Latrigg from Keswick through Brundholme Woods.

Summits included on this route:
Latrigg368 metres / 1207 feet

“For the man who wants to get away from it all”

A Wainwright

From Keswick we will follow Spooney Green Lane to the foot of Brundholme Wood, a good terraced path climbs very gently through the trees to the east, with magnificent views over the River Greta and south.

After emerging onto the fields above the trees we will walk across gentle grassland to the summit plateau of Latrigg, a wonderful viewpoint of Keswick and the surrounding area.

A short descent from the summit of Latrigg to the west will bring us down onto the track descending back to Spooney Green Lane and Keswick.

Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above.

We plan to walk whatever the weather, unless it is dangerous to do so.

Mountain weather can be a little unpredictable, but we do keep an eye on the forecasts leading up to walks, should the forecast mean that the walk is not possible then we will contact you as soon as we have the forecast and offer you the following options:
- A more suitable walk on the same date taking into consideration the weather conditions
- A transfer to the same walk on another date
- A full refund

Question:

Are dogs allowed on this walk?

Answers:

Posted by John Scadding on Wednesday, 20 September 2017

Yes, dogs are allowed on all our walks.

However we do cross farmland and common land where animals will be grazing, there will be large sections of the walk, if not all, where dogs will be required to be on a lead.
