For: Adults of all ages.
Duration: 7 to 8 hours.
Distance / Ascent: 12 miles / 19 km, 3700 ft / 1100 m.

Description:
The Fairfield round is possibly the most famous of all the Lakeland Horseshoe walks and, with its fairly central location, provides some of the best walking and stunning views that the Lake District has to offer.
Starting our walk from Ambleside we will reach the ridge after the initial climb to Low Pike, the first of eight Wainwright summits we will ascend in the day. And from there we will remain on high ground until it’s time to return to the valley over our final summit, Nab Scar.
