The walk from Keswick to Threkfeld along the old railway line is a joy and enables many to see some lovely views that they may otherwise not be able to see. It really is accessible to all. The community cafe at Threkfeld is well worth a visit before returning. The only downside is the handful of dog walkers who clearly need to go to Specsavers because they cannot read the signs saying dogs should be on leads and the cyclists who think the track belongs to them and they have a divine right to push you out of the way. However don’t let the selfish few put you off this walk.

Very pleasant easy amble. 3.5 mile walk with an hourly return bus at five to the hour if you don’t want to walk back. Very beautiful walk. Easy for pushchairs, bikes and wheelchairs. As other people have said some users ignore the “all dogs on a lead” rule and some bike riders are plain rude. But overall it was beautiful and this outweighed the humans with no consideration

This is a nice very accessible walk for all abilities with lots of trees and views of the river to enjoy. It can be very busy as it is shared use but most people are considerate. The replacement bridges lack the character of the original ones but do look pretty substantial, so hopefully will last a long time.

Great walk for the start of our holiday! Lovely gentle, accessible trail suitable for prams and wheelchairs. Reasonable parking at the station car park (£4 for the whole day), then we strolled along the 3 mile trail to Threlkeld and had a lovely coffee and cake at the coffee shop in the village hall. Could of had an easy walk back but decided to divert to Castlerigg stone circle!

A nice 3 mile walk - with a good cafe in Threlkeld village at the end. Note, the village is another quarter of a mile past the end of the rail walk. It is mainly flat but a steeper section at the end.

We got wet, very wet but the walk was level, the bridges crossing the rivers wonderful, 90%+ of people adhered to the many signs asking everyone to stay left. However, it is the minority who spoil things. We can across three people walking across the path, taking up all the space left to right and ignoring the incoming cyclist with a small child. Why didn’t they just stay left? Instead, they moved to the right!! I couldn’t count the number of signs telling us all to stay left! It’s always inconsiderate people who spoil things. Fortunately, the majority can read. The distance markers are really helpful but are only on display on the way to Threkeld. Would help if they were consistently present on the reverse journey too. The info boards along the journey are really helpful, informing us of the history of the path. A few waste bins and pet waste bins would be a good idea.

What a fabulous walk. We went one way from Threlkeld to Keswick. The experience and narrative along the way made it a special walk. It was special even in the rain. Tr ice cream van half way got a miss this time.
