The whole route is divided into six stages, each of which is of a length comfortable enough for regular, fit walkers. The possible exceptions are the stages from Buckden to Cowgill at Dent Head, which is 17 miles (27.5km) long, and from Millthrop, Sedbergh to Staveley, which is 19 miles (31km), although there is a little scope for breaking them into smaller sections without adjusting other stages of the walk.
Each of the stages represents an artificial linking together of two or more places that provide accommodation in some shape or form. The table below shows suggestions for three possible itineraries for the whole-route – but these are only suggestions, and you must plan your daily walk according to your own strengths, abilities and wishes.
