The scent of moorland heather drifts down from the fells as you wake in your wooden pod, the kind of stillness that only comes when you're properly away from it all.

Far Moorend suits anyone chasing a bit of creature comfort without losing the camping spirit — couples after a romantic bolt-hole, small families wanting four walls and a proper bed, or walkers who'd rather not wrestle tent pegs after a day on the hills. The pods and chalets give you that cosy middle ground between canvas and cottage, and dogs are welcome by arrangement, so your four-legged mate doesn't miss out on the adventure.

Facilities aren't extensive here, so come prepared for a simpler setup and check what's available when you book. Campfires are allowed but worth confirming on arrival — there's nothing quite like an evening flame when you've got the space to enjoy it. This is a quiet, tucked-away spot for those who value peace over polish, and moorland views over manicured lawns.

Corpse Road and Tumuli Walk, North Lakes Outdoors

Follows an ancient corpse road used to carry the dead to Wasdale Head church, passing Bronze Age burial mounds and stone circles. Moderate 5.8km route with some gentle climbs across open fellside – stunning Wastwater views but exposed terrain means it's better suited to older children with stamina rather than toddlers or buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. A fascinating glimpse into Lakeland's pre-Christian history with dramatic mountain backdrops throughout.

Lanthwaite Wood and Crummock Water Walk, North Lakes Outdoors

Winds through ancient woodland and along the western shore of Crummock Water with moderate ups and downs – some steep sections through the woods, then easier lakeside stretches. Not suitable for buggies due to tree roots, rocky paths and inclines, but manageable for families with older children who can handle uneven terrain. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Stunning lake views, mature trees, and classic Lakeland scenery make this a rewarding circuit for moderate walkers.

The Valley of Cinders Walk, North Lakes Outdoors

Follows a dramatic volcanic landscape through ancient mine workings and spoil heaps that glow rusty-red. The 2.4km route is mostly flat with good paths, making it manageable for families with older children who can handle uneven ground in places. Buggies will struggle on the rougher sections. Dogs welcome on leads. A fascinating glimpse into Cumbria's industrial past with striking geology and valley views that feel worlds away from typical Lake District walks.

Pillar Trail from Wasdale Head, North Lakes Outdoors

Climbs steeply from Wasdale Head to Black Sail Pass before descending to Ennerdale, with relentless ascent and rough, rocky terrain throughout. Not suitable for young children or buggies due to elevation gain and challenging ground conditions. Dogs welcome but must be fit and agile for the sustained climb. Rewards with dramatic Lake District mountain scenery and a genuine sense of wilderness in one of England's most remote valleys.
