The Westmorland Way walk is entirely within the ancient county of Westmorland which was abolished as an administrative entity in the local government re-organisation of 1974. Geographically of course it lives on and this walk was aimed by its creator, Paul Hannon, as a celebration of the walking delights of the county and its history. Walking the Westmorland Way begins in the attractive market town of Appleby, the county town of Westmorland, and sweeps westwards and southwards in a great arc through some of the finest Lake District scenery to end in the lovely village of Arnside on Morecambe Bay. Along the way, you pass Ullswater, Grasmere and Windermere.
