We are pefectly positioned for numerous walks which start in and around Braithwaite, they vary in terms of difficulty but here are few which you might like to try, the first two are quite challenging, the third is relatively easy:
Coledale Horseshoe: go via Barrow Door, Sail Pass, Sail and Eel Crags, down into Coledale Hause and back via either Grisedale Pike or the Force Crag Mine road in the Coledale valley (the latter is shorter and flatter, but a bit tedious). In Coledale Hause, as a diversion you can hop straight across up Grasmoor before deciding on the route back. Seven to nine miles, and with terrific views. Grisedale Pike: Straight up from the village, taking the steps up from the car park cut into the hill 400 yards up the Whinlatter road, and back via Eel Crags and Stonycroft Gill or (shorter) via Coledale Hause and Force Crag Mine. If you can get up Grisedale without stopping, you are fit! The views are certainly worth the effort. Another way up Grisedale, which will appeal to those who do not fancy the the length of the climb up Sleet How from Braithwaite, is to drive up to the Revelin Moss car park at the top of Whinlatter and climb from there: not so far and not so steep, and you also get some good views of the fells to the north and northwest. Into the Newlands Valley. At Little Braithwaite (see easy walk 2), turn left, and then right at the bridge to walk along the Newlands Beck (which lengthens the walk by about 45 minutes but, this being the most beautiful pastoral valley in England, the views are well worth it); cross the beck at the first bridge, eventually turning right along the metalled road above Uzzicar Farm. After about 300 yards take the path climbing gradually to the left above the wood, which lands you at Braithwaite Lodge farm and thence back to the village. Or you can do the walk in reverse. See the list of medium walks for longer walks in the valley.
