Fairtrade Way

145 km / 90 miles

Cumbria, Lancs
The Fair Trade Way is a long-distance footpath designed as a 6-day walk between Garstang (The World’s first Fairtrade Town) and Keswick (A very active Fairtrade Town). It has been created to promote the positive impact that using Fairtrade products can have on the lives of people who suffer whilst they produce the resources that we in the more wealthy countries consume in our everyday lives. Whilst following the route, walkers are encouraged to endorse the principles of Fairtrade by enjoying Fairtrade food and beverages where possible. If required, they can also seek out Fairtrade accommodation.
