Walking can be a great activity if you like to get outside or if you need to escape reality for a little bit.
The Lake District is known for its plentiful offering of walks and trails that have proved popular with many, including TV presenter Helen Skelton.
Go Outdoors pulled together a list of its eight favourite walks at some of the UKâs National Parks and their ambassador for North Ridge, Helen Skelton, shared what her favourite Lake District walk is.
What is Helen Skeltonâs favourite Lake District walk?
Helen Skelton said Helvellyn Gill Path is her favourite walk in the Lake District.
Skelton said: âI just love this walk. Many memories, many early mornings and many milestones have been marked here for me!
âWalking around here brings such a wholesome feeling to me and I am so grateful to have this, and many other locations in the Lake District, on my doorstep!â
Go Outdoors explains on its website that the walk is graded âdifficultâ with mountain and open terrain.

Walkers can expect to see some âbreathtaking views of the Lake Districtâ on this walk as they follow the route to the top of the mountain.
Go Outdoors added that the route is a popular one with dog owners but as itâs âmoderately difficultâ and takes three hours to complete, youâll need to make sure your dog is âin peak fitnessâ.
You can download the walking route via the Go Outdoors website and find out which maps will help you with the route.
