The circular route starts at Ambleside and passes through Coniston, Eskdale, Wasdale and Buttermere before heading north east to Keswick. It then heads south, through Rosthwaite to Grasmere; across to Patterdale and thence back to Ambleside.

There are also five high-level alternative routes that take the walker over the region's main peaks and a prologue from Windermere train station to Ambleside.
